Suppose an object is moving in a straight line at 50 miles/hr. According to Newton's first law of motion, the object will ______
___.a. continue to move in the same way forever, no matter what happens. b. continue to move in the same way until it is acted upon by a force. c. eventually slow down and come to a stop. d. continue to move in a straight line forever if it is in space, but fall to the ground if it is on Earth.
Newton's first law of motion states that a body will remain in its state of rest or if its in motion will continue to move in a straight line, unless its acted upon by an external force.The ability of an object to stay at rest or in motion if its in motion is known as inertia.
