Newton’s First Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. True or False

Answer 1

False. Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by a net external force. The statement you provided is actually a description of Newton's Second Law of Motion, which is expressed mathematically as \( F = ma \) (force equals mass times acceleration).
