Question

Which sentence describes Newton's first law?

Answer 1

$\Large{\red{\bf{\blue{\dag} Answer:-}}}$

Newton's First Law of Motion :

An object stays in rest or in uniform motion unless and until compelled by an external unbalanced force . This is also known as " Law of Inertia " .

Here this statement is best represented by the statement : Unbalanced forces cause an object to move. [ option c ]

Newton's 3 laws of motion :-

Newton's First Law of Motion :-

It states that an object stays in rest or in uniform motion unless and until compelled by an external unbalanced force . This is also known as " Law of Inertia " .

Ex - (i) We tend to fall backwards while standing in the bus , when it starts suddenly.

(ii) We tend to fall forward while standing in the bus , when it stops suddenly.

Newton's Second Law of Motion :-

It states that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force in the direction of the force . That is ∆p $\propto$ Force .

Ex - (i) When we push car & a truck with same force the car will have Greater acceleration due to less mass . (Imaginary case ).

(ii) We feel easy to push a empty cart than a full cart .

Newton's Third Law of Motion :-

It states that every action has equal and opposite reaction .

Ex - (i) We are able to walk on ground due to Newton's third law of motion .

(ii) When we push wall it also applies equal and opposite force .
