"An object remains in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change that state by an applied force", This statement represents which of the following laws of motion?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Newton's first law of motion is stated as:
An object remains in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change that state by an applied force. In other words, all objects resist a change in their state of motion.
In a qualitative way, the tendency of undisturbed objects to stay at rest or to keep moving with the same velocity is called inertia.
