What kind of motion does a constant, non-zero net force produce on an object of constant mass?
Answers
The answer is that a change in motion is equivalent to a change in velocity. A change in velocity means, by definition, that there is an acceleration. Newton's first law says that a net external force causes a change in motion; thus, we see that a net external force causes acceleration.
Answer:
Explanation:
Concept,
Newton's 2nd law of motion is:
When a body of mass m is applied by some force (F) which is the cause for the motion then the effect produced in the body is acceleration (a):
i.e. F = ma
Theory,
Let us consider a body of mass 'm', and produce an acceleration 'a' upon the action of some constant non-zero force 'F'.
Then from Newton's 2nd law of motion:
F = ma
Now for F to be non-zero the only term that should be non-zero is the acceleration of the body (a) as the mass of the body given is constant (m).
Therefore, the motion of the body is said to be accelerated motion.
