What is Newton's first law of motion?

Answer 1

That law states that if no net force acts upon an object, that object's velocity won't change. For example, if it was at rest, it will continue at rest.Note that the First Law is a bit redundant - it is really only a special case of the Second Law, for the case that F = 0.

Answer 2

Newton's first law of motion is the law of inertia. There are basically "two parts" to the law of inertia. The first part says that an object at rest tends to remain at rest unless it is acted on by an outside force. Simple and easy to see. The second part says that an object in motion tends to remain in motion moving at the same speed and moving in the same direction it's going unless it is acted on by an outside force. Wikipedia has a nice post on Newton's three laws, and it's easy to read and understand. A link is provided, and you'll find it below.

"An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion will stay in motion at the same speed and in the same direction unless acted on by an unbalanced force."

Velocity can't change without unbalanced forces.Every body remains in a state of rest or uniform motion unless it is acted upon by an external unbalanced force. This means that in the absence of a non-zero net force, the of mass of a body either remains at rest , or moves at a constant speed in a straight line.

Answer 3

• An object at rest will stay at rest unless an external resultant force acts on it.

• Also an object will continue to move at constant velocity unless an external resultant force acts on it.

Newton's first Law of Motion states that an object will remain at rest unless an unbalanced force acts upon it. An object that is moving will remain at constant speed in the same direction forever unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.

Answer 4

Newton's first law of motion was "first law of motion: a body remains at rest or in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force."
