which statement best describes newton’s first law?
force equals mass times (multiplied by) acceleration
heavier objects accelerate more with the same force
for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
objects resist changes to their motion
Newton's First Law, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This means objects resist changes to their motion. "Force equals mass times acceleration" is Newton's Second Law. "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" is Newton's Third Law. Heavier objects actually accelerate less with the same force according to the second - law relationship $F = ma$.
