1 Which is not one of Newton's laws of motion? 7 The total momentum of a system of interacting bodies remains constant, providing no external force acts. The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the external force acting on the body and takes place in the direction of the force. If body exerts a force on body, then body exerts an equal and oppositely-directed force on body. body continues in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by some external force. 11 Two equal masses travel towards each other on a frictionless air track at speeds of 6 cm s 1 and 4 cm s 1.
