A body will move at a constant velocity while an unbalanced force acts on it.
A student has modified his pickup truck by putting on larger wheels. Why will his truck take longer to speed up and slow down.
Because the tires have increased the truck inertia.
Because the tires have increased the truck tires rotational inertia.
