Question

How does Newton's First law explain the motion of an object in the absence of external forces?

*
1 point
The object always moves at a constant velocity
The object always remains at rest
The object always accelerates
The object always changes direction

Answer 1

The correct answer is "The object always moves at a constant velocity." According to Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the law of inertia, an object will continue to move in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. This means that if there are no external forces acting on the object, it will continue to move with the same speed and in the same direction.
