Which law of motion is also called law of inertia ?
Correct answer: A. 1st law
- A. 1st law
- B. 2nd law
- C. 3rd law
- D. all 1st, 2nd and 3rd laws
Explanation
Newton's first law states that an object remains at rest or continues with uniform velocity unless acted on by a net external force, expressing the principle of inertia. Option a is correct; option b is a likely mistake because the second law concerns force and acceleration, not resistance to changes in motion.

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.
