I believe the website www.asanet.org will help (:
An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon another force.
Newton used this to prove that gravity existed. Without an unseen force, we could throw a ball and it would go on forever correct? Unless there was something to pull it down, in this case, gravity.
I don't know if you need to complete this question or do it otherwise, however, I managed to find on the Internet on several places this completion of your sentence:
<span>Electric current flows through a long rod generating thermal energy at a uniform volumetric rate of q = 2 x 10</span>⁶ W/m³.
I'm not sure whether that is the answer you were looking for, but that's what I found.
Answer:
True The net force must be zero for the acceleration to be zero
Explanation:
In order to analyze the statements of this problem we propose your solution.
First let's look at Newton's first, which stable that every object is at rest or with constant speed unless something takes it out of this state (acceleration)
Now let's look at the second postulate, which says that force is related to the product of the mass of a body and its acceleration.
As a result of these two laws, for a body is a constant velocity the summation force on it must be zero.
Now we can analyze the statements given.
True The net force must be zero for the acceleration to be zero
False. If the force is different from zero, there is acceleration that changes the speeds
False. There may be forces, but the sum of them must be zero
False. If a force acts, the acceleration is different from zero and the speed changes
