Question

What is the net force acting on a car cruising at a constant velocity of 70 km/h (a) on a level road and (b) on an uphill road?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) zero b) zero

Explanation:

Newton's first law tells us that a body remains at rest or in uniform rectilinear motion, if a net force is not applied on it, that is, if there are no applied forces or If the sum of forces acting is zero. In this case there is a body that moves with uniform rectilinear motion which implies that there is no net force.
