According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to a body when no force is acting on it?
According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to a body when no force is acting on it?
- It accelerates indefinitely
- It moves in a circular path
- It remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed in a straight line (correct)
- It stops immediately
According to Newton's second law of motion, what is the relationship between a body's acceleration, mass, and net force acting on it?
According to Newton's second law of motion, what is the relationship between a body's acceleration, mass, and net force acting on it?
- The body's acceleration multiplied by its mass is equal to the net force (correct)
- The body's mass is not related to its acceleration
- The net force acting on the body is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration
- The body's acceleration is inversely proportional to the net force
According to Newton's third law of motion, what can be said about the forces exerted by two bodies on each other?
According to Newton's third law of motion, what can be said about the forces exerted by two bodies on each other?
- The forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions (correct)
- The forces have the same magnitude and same direction
- The forces have different magnitudes and opposite directions
- The forces have different magnitudes and same direction
