NEET Physics Newton's Laws MCQ Question
What does Newton's first law of motion state about the motion of a body?
A body remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
A body in motion will eventually stop if no force is applied.
A body in motion will continue to accelerate unless a force is applied.
A body can only change its state of motion with a net force acting on it.
Correct Answer
