The correct answer is the First Law of Motion, also known as Newton's Law of Inertia.
The statement, "An object at rest remains at rest. An object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by an outside force," describes the First Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Inertia. This law states that an object will continue to stay in its state of motion (whether at rest or moving) unless an external force is applied to it. This means that if there are no forces acting on an object, it will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity. To find the answer to this question, you just need to understand Newton's Laws of Motion and identify which law applies to the given statement.
