Newton's Law of Motion

A book is lying at rest on a table. The book will remain there at rest because

• there is a net force but the book has too much inertia

• there are no forces acting on it at all

• there is no net force on the book

• there is a net force, but the book is too heavy to move

A hockey puck slides on ice at constant velocity. What is the net force acting on the puck?

• equal to its weight

• zero

• less than its weight but more than zero

• depends on the speed of the puck

If a force of 26 N is exerted on two balls, one with a mass of 0.52 kg and the other with a mass of 0.78 kg, which ball will have the greater acceleration?  (F=ma)

• The one with a mass of .78 kg will have the greatest acceleration.
• The one with a mass of .52 kg will have the greatest acceleration.
• They will both accelerate at the same rate.
