State newtons first law?

Newton's first law of motion is often stated as An object at rest stays at rest and anobject in motion stays in motion with thesame speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalancedforceObjects that are in motion will stay in motion unless they are acted upon by an outside force; objects that are not moving will stay still unless they are acted upon by an outside force.


An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in straight-line motion will remain in straight-line motion unless acted upon by a?

A force, that may come from a collision with ... Another object.


When does an objects motion change?

The motion of an object will change when it is acted on by some force. This force will speed it up, slow it down, change its direction of motion or perhaps cause it to spin. All thses changes of motion are response to the force acting on the object. This is Newton's first law: An object in motion will continue in motion (and in the same direction) unless acted on by some force. Some might call this the law of inertia.


Does the law of inertia apply to objects at rest?

The law states "An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."Newton's first law of motion states that "objects in motion stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This is also referred to as the law of inertia.


What is Newton 1?

Newton's first law of motion is often stated as: "An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. An object in motion will remain in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an outside force." Motion, If an object is not ifluenced by any force other then its motion, its velocity will naturally remain constant. i.e, it will continue to move along in a perfectly straight line at a constant speed.

What is netwon1st law?

Objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.


Why is it that when you push a wall it will not move?

because objects move when proper force is acted upon them which works on moving and changing these objects direction.


What are the3 laws of motion?

1. A still object will remain still until acted upon by an outside force. A moving object will remain moving in the same direction with the same speed until acted upon by an outside force. 2. An object will move in the same direction as the force it was acted on by and will not stop even if the force stops 3. All actions have an equal and opposite reaction. Hopefully this helped


Why is a particle in uniform circular motion not moving at a constant velocity?

No. Velocity has direction and magnitude. The magnitude can be constant, but if the body is in circular motion, the direction of the movement is constantly changing, which means that the velocity is constantly changing. Changing velocity means that the body is accelerating. In this case, because the motion of the body is always changing away from a straight line to cause it to go round the circle, the acceleration acts towards the centre of the circle.


The only force acting on an object in free fall is?

gravity and air resistance both act on a free falling object.


Cause an objects velocity to change?

Is that a question? An object remains in motion until/unless acted on by another force. A bullet will slow and drop due to air resistance and gravity.


What are stationary objects a result of?

inertia - an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force/an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside force hoped this answers your question ---> Balanced forces

Do all objects in outer space eventually come to a complete stop?

No. An object in space will continue to move at the same speed and in the same direction until acted upon by an outside force. There is also no real way of defining a "complete stop" as motion is relative. What is stationary from one perspective might not be from another.

Why can newton's first law of motion can be difficult to see in objects?

Because Newton's 1st law of motion is... An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an ublanced force. An object in motion will stay in motion and the same direction unless acted on by an ublanced force.


What does Newton's first law motion say about objects in motion?

The law states "An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."
