(d) A car moving with a constant velocity of 30 km/h on a rough road
(e) A high-speed electron in space far from all material objects, and free of electric and magnetic fields
(a) Since the raindrop is falling at a constant speed, the acceleration is zero. When the acceleration is 0, the force acting on the drop will also become zero ( since F = ma)
(b) Since the cork is floating on water, the weight of the cork is balanced by upward force of water. So the net force on t
