Newtons 1st law of motion states:

• An object in motion will stay in motion and an object in rest will stay in rest unless acted upon by and unbalance force.
• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. 
• Acceleration is produced when a force. acts on a mass. 
• The greater the mass  the greater the amount of force needed to change its motion. 

The law of inertia is also known as which law of motion?

• Newtons first law of motion. 
• Newtons second law of motion. 
• Newtons third law of motion. 
• Inertia has nothing to do with the laws of motion.
