[Openstax, College physics 2e, Dynamics: Force and Newton's laws of motion] Force and Newton's laws of motion: Newton's laws

Newton's first law of motion: inertia

Select the correct statements from the list below.

According to Newton’s first law, an object moving on a circle will necessarily be acted upon by a net external force.

Because real objects on Earth are always subject to a gravitational force, it’s not possible for objects to be at rest in the real world.

An object slowing down while moving on a straight line is evidence of an external force.

Newton’s first law of motion does not apply to situations that include gravity.

An object at rest will never move, even if acted upon by an external net force.
