question 5 of 8
again this goes against aristotle who said all objects tend to go to rest. what we call newtons first law \inertia\ was really developed first by galileo (horizontal inertia) and then by descartes (straight lines no matter the direction)... but we usually just give credit to newton:
1l\. t or f, objects at rest tend to stay at rest and objects in motion tend to stay in motion.
true
false
Newton's First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia) states that an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a net external force. The statement provided directly matches this core definition of the law.
