Questions and Answers

What is Newton's first law of motion mainly about?

  • Velocity
  • Forces
  • Inertia (correct)
  • Acceleration
  • How is Newton's first law often stated?

  • "An object in motion will remain in motion, and an object at rest will remain at rest, unless acted upon by a force." (correct)
  • "An object in motion will come to a stop, and an object at rest will remain at rest."
  • "An object will accelerate regardless of external forces."
  • "An object will change direction without any external influence."
  • According to Newton's first law, why does an object need a net force to change its motion?

  • Due to its mass
  • Due to its velocity
  • Due to inertia (correct)
  • Due to gravitational pull
  • Which physicist introduced the three laws of motion in the book Principia published in 1687?
