The first law of motion states...

that an object at rest will remain at rest

that an object in motion will remain in motion

that an unbalanced force can change the velocity of an object

Why is Newton's first law sometimes called the law of inertia?

because inertia is the tendency of objects to resist change to their motion

because inertia describes the application of force to an object at rest

because inertia describes the application of force to an object in motion

because inertia is the same thing as friction

An object is subjected to an unbalanced force. What happens to the object?

The object changes its speed or direction.

The object remains in its place.

The object continues moving at constant speed.

Nothing happens to the motion of the object.

The Earth rotates west to east. According to Newton's first law of motion, which should occur if you jumped straight up?

you land in the same place you jumped from

you land east of where you jumped from

you land west of where you jumped from

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

An automobile you are riding in suddenly stops, but you continue to go forward.

A rocket in outer space continues to move.

You push against a wall and the wall is pushing back on you.

The acceleration of a 4 kg bowling ball will be greater than the acceleration of a 6 kg bowling ball if the same force is applied to both.

As the fuel in a rocket ignites, the force of gas expansion and explosion pushes out the back of the rocket and pushes the rocket forward.

You push against the floor when you walk and the floor pushes back on you.

According to Newton's First Law of Motion, a mass in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by some force.
