    Question

    Is this statement true or false?
    an external force is required to keep a body in motion

    1. True    
    2. False    

    hintHint:

    Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.

    The correct answer is: False

      The statement is false, because frictional force might not be the only force acting on the body. So the external force should counter all the forces including frictional force to keep the body moving in a uniform motion.
