pulls it southward. The magnitude of the resultant force on the object is - ANS IS 5 N
Newton's first law states that - ANS IS an object moves with constant speed in a straight line or
remains stationary unless there is a nonzero net force.

doubled
When the speed of an object is doubled, its momentum - ANS IS doubles
When a dish falls, will the change in momentum be less if it lands on a carpet than if it lands on
a hard floor? - ANS IS No, both are the same
