A ball is located at one end of a cart that is moving forward as shown. The cart stops suddenly.

 

According to Newton’s first law, what happens to the ball just after the box stops?

• Because of reaction, the ball continues rolling forward at the same speed.

• Because of inertia, the ball rolls forward at an increasing speed.

• Because of reaction, the ball rolls forward at an increasing speed.

• Because of inertia, the ball continues rolling forward at the same speed.

Match the following

• Net Force

• When an object has no motion

• Constant

• Total amount of force on an object

• At rest

• Equal and opposite forces
