multiple - choice question
what does newtons 1st law state?
force = mass x acceleration
an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force
for every action, there is an equal yet opposite reaction.

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 in a straight line) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

• The formula \(force = mass\times acceleration\) (\(F = ma\)) is Newton's second law.
• The statement "For every action, there is an equal yet opposite reaction" is Newton's third law.

Answer:

An object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
