When a body is stationary a. there is no force acting on it b. the forces acting on its are not in contact with it c. the combination of forces acting on it balance each other d. the body is in vacuum
Inertia is that property of a body by virtue of which the body is (a) unable to change by itself the state of rest. (b) unable to change by itself the state of uniform motion. (c) unable to change by itself the direction of motion. (d) unahle to change by itself the state of rest of of uniform motion.
If all of the forces acting on an object balance so that the net force is zero, then (A) the object must be at rest (B) the object’s speed will decrease (C) the object’s direction of motion can change, but not its speed (D) None of the above will occur.
