Question 24:
When a net force acts on a body, what does Newton’s second law predict will happen to the body?
Options :
- a) The body will always move in the opposite direction
- b) The body will accelerate in the direction of the force
- c) The body will remain stationary
- d) The body will move at constant speed
correct answer : b)
Explanation :
Newton’s second law states that F = m × a. A net unbalanced force produces acceleration directly proportional to the magnitude of the force and in the exact direction of the applied force.
