Question

1. describe state newtons first law of motion in your own words.

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion with a constant velocity (constant speed and direction), unless acted upon by an external force. This means that objects have a tendency to resist changes in their state of motion. For example, if a book is placed on a table (at rest), it will stay there until someone (an external force) picks it up or moves it. Similarly, a moving car will keep moving at a constant speed in a straight line unless the driver applies the brakes (an external force) to slow it down or a turn is made (a force to change direction).

Answer:

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.
