Newton’s First Law of Motion is Also Known As the Law of__

Answer:  Law of Inertia is another name for Newton’s First Law of motion.  

  • The Law of inertia, otherwise known as Newton’s first law of motion, states that an object in a uniform motion or a resting state will continue to be so until and unless some external force is enacted on it to induce some change.
  • The term inertia is when an object resists change in its state. 
  • The first law means that things cannot initiate or change their direction, and a force from an external source is mandatory for inducing any change.
