Open in App
Solution

Newton's Law of Motion:

  1. It states that if a body is at rest or in uniform motion then it will remain in the same state until or unless an external force is applied to it.
  2. It is also known as the Law of Inertia.
  3. Example: Falling forward in transport when sudden breaks are applied. To prevent such incidents, we use seat belts to stop our bodies from moving forward and avoiding danger.
