NEET Physics Newton's Laws MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations regarding Newton's Laws of Motion is correct?
1st Law states that an object remains at rest unless acted upon; 2nd Law states F=ma; 3rd Law states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
1st Law states an object requires a force to remain in motion; 2nd Law states F=ma; 3rd Law states forces are always balanced.
1st Law states an object continues in motion only if a force acts; 2nd Law states mass is irrelevant in force calculation; 3rd Law states reactions are greater than actions.
1st Law describes acceleration in motion; 2nd Law relates mass and acceleration; 3rd Law states forces are independent of each other.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The first law of motion states that every body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion unless compelled by an external force. The second law relates force, mass, and acceleration as F=ma. The third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, which correctly represents Newton's formulation of these laws.
