Questions and Answers

According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to a body when no force is acting on it?

  • It moves in a circular path
  • It accelerates in the direction of the net force
  • It remains at rest or in constant motion in a straight line (correct)
  • It changes its mass

What does the net force on a body equal to, according to Newton's second law of motion?

  • The body's momentum divided by its mass
  • The body's mass divided by its acceleration
  • The body's acceleration multiplied by its mass (correct)
  • The body's velocity multiplied by its mass

In Newton's third law of motion, if two bodies exert forces on each other, what can be said about these forces?

  • They have the same magnitude and same direction
  • They have the same magnitude but opposite directions (correct)
  • They have different magnitudes and opposite directions
  • They have different magnitudes and same direction
