According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to a body unless acted upon by a force?
- Accelerates indefinitely
- Remains at rest or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line (correct)
- Changes its direction randomly
- Changes its mass
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?
- Acceleration minus mass equals the net force
- Acceleration plus mass equals the net force
- Acceleration multiplied by mass equals the net force (correct)
- Acceleration divided by mass equals the net force
