Newton's first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia. What does inertia mean? O It means the tendency to keep moving if a body is moving. O It means the tendency to stop if stopped. O It means the tendency to keep going in the direction that a body is moving. O It means all of the above.

Choose the correct word to make a sensible statement. The first law of motion is the law of inertia + . It means that an object will remain + at rest or will change * in motion unless an external force * will act on it. The second law of + is law of + it states that with an increasing mass of an object, requires * force to maintain the The * law is the law of + . It means that when the Ist object exerts force unto 2nd object, the second object exerts + amount of force but in direction.

Which of the following is NOT an Aristotle’s concept about motion? * A. Motion can be natural or violent. B. An object will move if an external force is applied. C. The motion of an object is parallel to the ground until it is the object's time to fall back into the ground. D. An object in motion, if unimpeded, will continue to be in motion; an external force is not necessary to maintain the motion.
