For a ball moving on a smooth frictionless surface, choose the appropriate option that will make the following statements physically correct. (i) If no net force is applied on the ball, the velocity of the ball will remain the same / increase / decrease. (ii) If a net force is applied on the ball in the direction of its motion, the magnitude of the velocity of the ball will remain the same / increase / decrease. (iii) If a net force is applied on the ball in a direction opposite to the direction of its motion, the magnitude of the velocity of the ball will remain the same / increase / decrease.
Show answer
- (i) remain the same, like Part 3
- (ii) increase, like Part 2
- (iii) decrease, like Part 4
