An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.

• Newton's First Law of Motion
• Newton's Second Law of Motion
• Newton's Third Law of Motion
• Newton's Fourth Law of Motion

It is also called the Law of Inertia.

• Newton's First Law of Motion
• Newton's Second Law of Motion
• Newton's Third Law of Motion

• True
• False
