Question

which of the following statements best describes newtons first law of motion? 1 point for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force. the force of gravity between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses. the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. 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 (net external) force.

Explanation:

Newton's First Law of Motion 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 (net external) force. The first option describes Newton's Third Law, the second describes the law of universal gravitation, and the third describes Newton's Second Law.

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 (net external) force.
