1.

What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?

a)

An object's acceleration is proportional to the amount of force applied, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

b)

An object at rest will remain at rest, while an object in motion will continue to move at a constant velocity, unless a net force acts.

c)

For every force, there is an equal and opposite reactive force.

d)

Inertia is a force which acts on all objects.
