Objects in motion tend to stay in motion, while objects at rest tend to _____________.

Back

stay at rest

Front

What is the first law of motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What does the second law of motion state?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
