Question

Sample Response: If an object is in motion, then the object will stay in motion because the object has inertia.

What did you include in your hypothesis? Check all that apply.

defines Newton’s first law
mentions the motion of objects
provides a reason for the object’s motion
mentions inertia

Answer 1

- mentions the motion of objects — yes (it says “If an object is in motion…”)
- provides a reason for the object’s motion — yes (“because the object has inertia”)
- mentions inertia — yes

It does not fully define Newton’s first law (it omits the “at rest” part and the role of unbalanced/external forces), so I would not check “defines Newton’s first law.”
