Question

Write True or false for the following statements:

The first law of motion is also known as Galileo’s law of inertia.

Answer 1

True

Newton’s first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless and until an external force is applied on the object. This tendency to resist its state of motion is called inertia.
