Question

explain how newtons law of inertia describes the motion of objects.

Explanation:

Newton's first - law (law of inertia) states an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This law describes the natural tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion. For example, a book on a table remains stationary because there is no unbalanced force acting on it. When a car suddenly stops, passengers continue moving forward due to inertia as their bodies want to maintain their previous state of motion.

Answer:

Newton's law of inertia states an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless an unbalanced force acts on it, thus describing the tendency of objects to resist changes in motion.
