What is the relationship between force and motion described by Newton's first law of motion?

Answer; In the first law; an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it.

Explanation: The link in the first law is quite apparent, implying that if there is no force (external force), there will be no motion; it will simply be at rest, in the same position as before. They are inextricably linked; with force, motion occurs; without force, no motion occurs.

Hope that helps! Have a good day :)

Newton's laws of motion relate an object's motion to the forces acting on it. In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. - From your mom
