Easy -2.0 This is a straightforward recall question testing Newton's First Law. Constant velocity immediately implies zero resultant force—a fundamental concept requiring no calculation or multi-step reasoning. Worth only 1 mark and presented as a multiple-choice question, this is significantly easier than typical A-level questions.
A vehicle is driven at a constant speed of \(12\text{ ms}^{-1}\) along a straight horizontal road.
Only one of the statements below is correct.
Identify the correct statement.
Tick (\(\checkmark\)) one box.
The vehicle is accelerating
The vehicle's driving force exceeds the total force resisting its motion
The resultant force acting on the vehicle is zero
The resultant force acting on the vehicle is dependent on its mass
