Question

Which law is also known as the law of inertia?

• A. Newton’s first law of motion
• B. Newton’s second law of motion
• C. Newton’s third law of motion
• D. Law of conservation of momentum

Answer 1

The correct option is A Newton’s first law of motion

The inertia of a body is the tendency to not change its static or motional state. Newton's first law of motion says that a static body will remain motionless, and a body in motion will stay in motion until a force acts on it.

Therefore, Newton's first law is associated with inertia and is also known as the law of inertia.
