What does Newton's first law of motion state?
What does Newton's first law of motion state?
- A body will change its direction if a force is applied
- A body will change its speed if a force is applied
- A body's momentum changes when a force is applied
- A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force (correct)
What does Newton's second law of motion state?
What does Newton's second law of motion state?
- If two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions
- A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force
- A body's momentum changes when a force is applied
- When a body is acted upon by a force, the time rate of change of its momentum equals the force (correct)
