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 remains at rest
- It moves in a circular path
- It moves at a constant speed in a straight line (correct)
- It accelerates in the direction of the net force
In Newton's second law of motion, what is the relationship between a body's acceleration, mass, and the net force acting on it?
In Newton's second law of motion, what is the relationship between a body's acceleration, mass, and the net force acting on it?
- Acceleration is directly proportional to mass and net force
- Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass and net force
- Acceleration is equal to the net force multiplied by mass (correct)
- Acceleration is equal to the net force divided by mass
According to Newton's third law of motion, what can be said about the forces exerted by two interacting bodies?
According to Newton's third law of motion, what can be said about the forces exerted by two interacting bodies?
- The forces have different magnitudes and the same direction
- The forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions (correct)
- The forces have different magnitudes and opposite directions
- The forces have the same magnitude and the same direction
