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
In the absence of a net force, an object cannot be A. at rest. B. in motion with a constant velocity. C. accelerating. D. moving with an acceleration of zero. E. experiencing opposite but equal forces.
An object moving with a constant acceleration in a noninertial frame a. must have non-zero net force acting on it. b. may have zero net force acting on it. c. may have no force acting on it. d. this situation is practically impossible. (The pseudo force acting on the object has also to be considered)
