Question
The law of inertia follows?
- Newton's zeroth law of motion
- Newton's first law of motion
- Newton's second law of motion
- Newton's third law of motion
Hint:
Newtons first law of motion.
The correct answer is: Newton's first law of motion
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 force." Objects tend to "keep on doing what they're doing." In fact, it is the natural tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion. This tendency to resist changes in their state of motion is described as inertia.
