The correct answer is option 1) i.e. Newton's first law of motion

CONCEPT:

  • Newton's first law of motion: It states that an object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.
    • This means that the object at rest would have a tendency to stay at rest and an object in motion will have a tendency to stay in motion.
    • This law is also known as the law of inertia.
  • ​Newton's second law of motion: It states that the rate of change of momentum of a body over time is directly proportional to the force applied, and occurs in the same direction as the applied force.
  • Newton's third law of motion: It states that for every action, there must be an equal and opposite reaction.

EXPLANATION:

  • ​Since the law of inertia follows Newton's first law of motion so the correct answer is option 1.
