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?
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
