In reference frame if a = 0, then weight of the body is equal to the force of_:

Correct answer: C. Gravity

  • A. Mass
  • B. Weight
  • C. Gravity
  • D. None of these

Explanation

In a reference frame where acceleration (a) is zero, an object is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity. In this situation, the net force acting on the object is also zero, according to Newton's first law of motion. If the net force is zero, then the weight of the body (which is the force due to gravity acting on the object) is equal to the force of tension (if the object is hanging or connected by a string) or any other supporting force that counteracts the gravitational force. Mathematically, this is expressed as: Weight = Tension or, more generally: Weight =Supporting Force In the absence of acceleration, the forces are balanced, and the object is in a state of equilibrium. This concept is consistent with Newton's first law, which states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.
