Question

The force that contributed to the formation of planets, determines the motion of bodies in the solar system, and pulls objects to the center of Earth is called ________
.

Newton’s first law of motion states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless a force acts on it. It also states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts on the object. Newton’s first law of motion is also known as the law of ________
.

Answer 1

The force that contributed to the formation of planets, determines the motion of bodies in the solar system, and pulls objects to the center of Earth is called **gravity**.

Newton’s first law of motion states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless a force acts on it. It also states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts on the object. Newton’s first law of motion is also known as the law of **inertia**.
