State Newton's first law of motion.
(N/A) Newton's first law of motion states that an object remains in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by an applied external force.
This law is also known as the Law of Inertia,as it describes the tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion.
