"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? |
Newton's First Law of Motion Newton's Second Law of Motion Newton's Third Law of Motion None of these |
Newton's First Law of Motion |
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. |
