Question
Sir Isaac Newton was among the pioneers in observing object motion and formulating these observations into laws. What is true according to Newton's 1st Law of Motion? (1 point)
A body devoid of kinetic energy will continue moving along a path with an unchanging radius.
An object in uniform motion will continue moving unless an external force acts upon it.
A body possessing varying potential energy will maintain a consistent, non-zero acceleration.
An object in variable motion will persist in its motion unless its state of matter undergoes a change.

The correct statement according to Newton's 1st Law of Motion is:
**An object in uniform motion will continue moving unless an external force acts upon it.**
This law is often summarized as the principle of inertia, which states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
**An object in uniform motion will continue moving unless an external force acts upon it.**
