I understand Newton's first law but I don't understand the question. Newton's first law says that, unless changed by an outside force, a body at rest (still) will remain at rest and a body in motion will remain in motion in the same direction and speed.

This describes inertia and momentum, respectively.

What is relationship of force to motion?

take a look at newtons 1st and 2nd laws. Basically if a force is applied on an object in one direction and no other forces are present it will accelerate or decelerate.


Which newtons laws explains how forces cause motion?

Newton's First Law says that a force is required to change motion.Newton's Second Law explains the relationship between the force and the change.


Why is Newtons the measurement of force called Newtons?

It is named for Sir Isaac Newton who formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation.


How do newtons laws of motion apply to the motion of an animal such as a cat that is running?

Newtons Laws apply to the motion of an animal such as a cat that is running because an object at rest will remain at rest unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force. A cat running remains in motion until it becomes tired or it is stopped by another force.


What is Laws of Dynamic friction?

The laws of dynamic friction describe the relationship between the force required to overcome friction between two surfaces in motion and the normal force acting perpendicular to those surfaces. These laws state that the force of friction is proportional to the normal force and is independent of the surface area in contact, while the coefficient of friction relates the force of friction to the normal force.


Is it true that an object in motion at a constant velocity will change its motion only if a central force acts on it?

yes it is one of newtons laws of motion


What kind of fundamental relationship is defined by Newtons Laws of Motion?

The Conservation of Energy is the fundamental relationship of Newton's laws. This relation is the same as the sum of the forces is zero or the condition of Equilibrium.The second Law, F=ma, is a a relation between force , mass and acceleration.

What puts things in motion?

Force is what puts things in motion. When a force is applied to an object, it can accelerate and start moving. This force can come from a push, a pull, or other interactions between objects.


What is the relationship of the first Newton's laws of motion and force?

Force is zero in Newton's First law.
