inertia
The law being described is the law of inertia.
The law being described here is the law of inertia.
To arrive at this answer, let's break down the question. Newton's First Law states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted on by an outside force. We are asked to identify the law being described.
To do this, let's consider the options given:
1. Momentum - Momentum is a property of moving objects, but it does not directly describe the behavior of objects at rest or in motion.
2. Gravity - Gravity is a force that acts between objects with mass, but it doesn't encompass the concept of an object at rest or an object in motion.
3. Inertia - Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion. It directly aligns with Newton's First Law as it states that an object at rest will remain at rest (no change in motion) and an object in motion will remain in motion (also no change in motion) unless acted upon by an outside force.
4. Velocity - Velocity is the speed of an object in a given direction, and it doesn't describe the behavior of objects at rest or in motion.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is inertia.
