Newton's First LawEasyQuestion 30201

Question

A book lies at rest on a table. According to Newton's first law, the book remains at rest because:
  1. A
    The gravitational force is zero
  2. B
    Net force on the book is zero
    Correct
  3. C
    The table pushes the book upward with equal and opposite force
  4. D
    The book has no mass

Correct answer

Net force on the book is zero

Explanation

Newton's first law: an object at rest stays at rest when the net force on it is zero. Here, gravity and normal force cancel.
