Why are the states of a body at rest and a body moving with constant velocity considered equivalent in terms of net force?

  • A
    Because both have zero acceleration.
  • B
    Because both have zero net force acting on them.
  • C
    Because both have the same inertia.
  • D
    Because both are in a state of equilibrium.
