Questions and Answers
What is the relationship between a body's acceleration, mass, and the net force acting on it according to Newton's second law of motion?
What is the relationship between a body's acceleration, mass, and the net force acting on it according to Newton's second law of motion?
- The net force is independent of the body's mass
- The body's acceleration multiplied by its mass is equal to the net force (correct)
- The body's acceleration is directly proportional to the net force
- The body's acceleration is inversely proportional to its mass
According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to a body when no force is acting upon it?
According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to a body when no force is acting upon it?
- It accelerates indefinitely
- It disappears
- It changes direction constantly
- It remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed in a straight line (correct)
