Chapter 3, Problem 11A
What is the tendency of a moving object when no forces act on it?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The tendency of a moving object when no forces act on it.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Newton's first law of motion is also known as law of inertia. It states that every object in motion remains in motion, unless external unbalanced force acts on it.
The object remains in motion when a balanced force acts on the object which keeps it in motion. The motion of an object changed by applying external unbalanced forces. So, when no external force acts on the object it will remain in motion.
Conclusion:
An object to remain in motion, when no external force acts on it.
