Question

Is this statement true or false?
acceleration can be non-zero only if there is a net external force on the body.

  1. True    
  2. False    

hintHint:

True

The correct answer is: True


    TRUE
    The first law of motion can, therefore, be simply expressed as: If the net external force on a body is zero, its acceleration is zero. Acceleration can be non zero only if there is a net external force on the body. Two kinds of situations are encountered in the application of this law in practice.
