Question:

"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?

Options:

Newton's First Law of Motion

Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Third Law of Motion

None of these

Correct Answer:

Newton's First Law of Motion

Explanation:

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.
