Newton's first law falsified _.
Correct answer: B. Aristotle theory
- A. Galileo theory
- B. Aristotle theory
- C. Einstein's theory
- D. Maxwell's theory
Explanation
Aristotle's Law of Motion: The natural state for an object is to be at rest. If you don't push on an object, it will stop moving.Whereas Newton's first law states that if there is no force on an object, the object moves at a constant velocity.Hence, Option B is correct.

About Newton's Laws of Motion
Newton’s laws explain inertia, the relation between net force and acceleration, and action-reaction pairs. Questions involve free-body diagrams, balanced and unbalanced forces, F = ma, force as the rate of change of momentum, and identifying genuine third-law pairs, which act on different bodies.
