What is newton's first law of physics?

Answer 1

Newton's first law of motion is often stated as An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in he same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Answer 2

newtons first law of motion is: an item in motion will remain in motion until a force acts upon it.

Answer 3

Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Inertia;

Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.

Answer 4

every body remains in its state of rest or uniform motion until it is compelled to change its state by an external force being applied to it.

or

Newton's First Law of Motion states that if a body is at rest then it will remain at rest and if it is in motion it will remain moving with the same velocity and in the same direction unless an external force is applied to it.

Answer 5

Newton's First Law of Motion states that if the net force (the vector sum of all forces acting on an object) is zero, then the velocity of the object is constant.

The first law can be stated mathematically as

Consequently,

• An object that is at rest will stay at rest unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.
• An object that is in motion will not change its velocity unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.

Answer 6

Basically it says that any object that is in a set position will remain that way unless some type of force from the outside is applied to the object.

Answer 7

Law of Inertia.

Answer 8

Newton's first law of motion is known as the law of
