Question

a rocket continues moving forward after its engines stop firing. which law explains this?
newtons second law
newtons third law
law of gravity
newtons first law

Explanation:

Newton's First Law, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. When the rocket's engines stop firing, there is no longer a thrust force being applied, but due to inertia, the rocket continues moving forward.

Answer:

Newton's First Law
