Newton’s first law quick check answers
Newton's first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Here are the possible answers for the quick check:
1. What is another name for Newton's first law?
- Law of inertia
2. What does Newton's first law state?
- An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
3. What is the concept of inertia?
- Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. According to Newton's first law, an object at rest will stay at rest (due to inertia), and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction (also due to inertia) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
4. True or False: Inertia only affects objects at rest.
- False. Inertia affects both objects at rest and objects in motion.
