If resultant of forces acting on a system is zero then

Assertion: To conserve linear momentum of a system, no force should act on the system. Reason: If net force on a system is zero, its linear momentum should remain constant.

IF p is the magnitude of linear momentum of a particle executing a uniform circular motion, then the ratio of centripetal force acting on the particle to its linear momentum is given by

If the net force acting on a body be zero , will it remain necessarily at rest ?

TRUE/FALSE TYPE QUESTIONS: If the net force acting on a body is zero, the body will remain necessarily at rest position.

If the resultant of all the external forces acting on a system of particles is zero, then from an inertial frame, one can surely say that

Consider the following statements: If the net external torque acting on an object is switched off, then - 1. Linear momentum will remain unchanged. 2. Angular momentum will remain unchanged. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Statement-1: If the resultant of all the forces acting on a system is zero then the torque on the system about any point is same. Statement-2: If the resultant of the forces acting on a system is zero then acceleration of its centre of mass is zero.
