Every object continues in a state of rest or of uniform speed in a straight line by zero net force.
is this statement correct?
is this statement correct?
yes. but as Kuruman asked, what is the real question or did you just want to state an equivilance to Newtons first law?jamiebean said:Every object continues in a state of rest or of uniform speed in a straight line by zero net force.

If it's a one dimensional point. Otherwise if it's an extended body you have to consider if the zero net force produces a torque.jamiebean said:Every object continues in a state of rest or of uniform speed in a straight line by zero net force.

Net force is the overall force acting on an object, taking into account all the individual forces acting on it. It determines the direction and magnitude of an object's motion, according to Newton's Second Law of Motion which states that the net force on an object is directly proportional to its acceleration.
To calculate the net force on an object, you need to add up all the individual forces acting on it. If the forces are acting in the same direction, you simply add them together. If they are acting in opposite directions, you subtract the smaller force from the larger one. The resulting sum is the net force on the object.
Yes, the net force on an object can be zero if all the individual forces acting on it cancel each other out. This means that the object will either be at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity.
The net force and acceleration of an object are directly proportional. This means that the greater the net force, the greater the acceleration, and vice versa. If the net force is zero, the object will not accelerate.
The direction of the net force determines the direction of the object's motion. If the net force is in the same direction as the object's motion, it will speed up. If the net force is in the opposite direction, it will slow down or come to a stop. If the net force is at an angle, the object will move in a curved path.
