Newton’s third law of motionrest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force?(1 point)
Newton's first law of motion - also known as the law of inertia - states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
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 the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
The correct answer is: Newton's first law of motion.
Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion continues in motion with the same velocity (speed and direction) unless acted upon by an external, unbalanced force.
To get to this answer, you need to have knowledge of Newton's laws of motion or be able to conduct research on the topic. Newton's laws of motion are fundamental principles in physics and can be found in any physics textbook or reputable online resources about the topic. By understanding each of the laws, you can identify which law aligns with the given statement. In this case, the description matches the first law, which is commonly known as the law of inertia.
