Question

Suppose an object is moving in a straight line at 50 mi/hr. According to Newton's first law of motion, the object will:

Answer 1

Answer:

The object will continue to move in straight line at 50 mi/hr except it is acted upon by an external force

Explanation:

Newton First Law of motion: A body will continue in its present state of  rest or, if it is in motion will continue to move with uniform speed in a straight line unless it is acted upon by a force. Newton first law of motion is also called the law of inertia.

Inertia: This is the tendency of a body to remain in its states of rest or uniform motion.

From the question, The object moving in a straight line at 50 mi/hr will continue to move in a straight line at 50 mi/hr, except it is acted upon by external force that will change the speed of the object.
