Question

The net upward force of a body at rest on the surface of the earth is equal to the net downward force.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The net upward force of a body at rest on the surface of the earth is equal to the net downward force. According to Newton's first law, an object at rest tends to remain at rest and an object in motion tends to remain in motion with a constant velocity (constant speed and direction of motion) unless it is acted on by a non-zero net force.
