Newton's Three Laws of Motion

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist motion.

• True

• False

Newton's first law of motion is also called the law of acceleration.

• True

• False

If an object is at rest, inertia will keep it at rest.

• True

• False

The inertia of an object is determined by its speed.

• True

• False

The speed of an object changes only when it is acted on by an unbalanced force.
