Answer:
Force
Explanation:
The mass of an object is the quantity of matter it contains. It is measured in kilograms.
Acceleration is the ratio of the change in the velocity of an object to the change in time. It is measured in m/.
When the mass of an object is multiplied with its acceleration, this gives the average force applied on the object. As force is defined as agent that can change the state of an object.
i.e F = m × a
where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.
The two major classes of force are; contact force and field force.
Answer:
False statement = There must be a non-zero net force acting on the object.
Explanation:
An object is moving at a constant speed along a straight line. If the speed is constant then its velocity must be constant. We know that the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration of the object i.e.
a = 0
⇒ The acceleration of the object is zero.
The product of force and acceleration gives the magnitude of force acting on the object i.e.
F = m a = 0
⇒ The net force acting on the object must be zero.
So, the option (a) is not true. This is because the force acting on the object is zero. First option contradicts the fact.
