According to Newtons first law of motion, an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. What is this law often called?

• law of force

• law of rest

• law of balance

• law of inertia

Which of the following mathematical equations expresses Newton's second law of motion?

• Mass + Force = Acceleration

• Force = Mass x Acceleration

• Mass = Force x Acceleration

• none of the above
