A force of 1 N accelerates a 1-kg mass at 1 m/ssquared. The acceleration of a 2-kg mass acted upon by a force of 2 N is
the same.
The force required to maintain an object at a constant velocity in free space is equal to
zero
The net force on any object moving at constant velocity is
zero

500N
A block is dragged at constant velocity across a level surface by a force of 6N. What is the force of friction between the block and the surface
6N
Earth moves about 30 km/s relative to the Sun. When you jump upward in front of a wall, the wall doesn't slam into you at 30 km/s because the wall
and you move at the same horizontal speed, before during and after your jump.
A player hits a ball with a bat. If the one part of the interaction is the bat against the ball, the other part is the
ball against the bat.
If an object falls with constant acceleration, the velocity of the object must
continually change by the same amount each second
Suppose you're coasting in a car at 60 km/h and apply the brakes until you show to 40 km/h. When you suddenly release the brake, the car tends to
continue moving at 40 km/h in the absence of forces
A skydiver steps from a helicopter and falls for a 5 s before reaching terminal velocity. During this 5-s interval, her accelerations is
decrease
When an object falls through the air, as velocity increases its acceleration
decreases
To steadily(constantly) increase the velocity of something requires a
decreasing force
A given net force propels an object along a straight path. If the net force were doubled, its acceleration would
double
