Question

Mabel finds a large stone while walking in a field. She'd like to take it home, but she is unable to move it. Which of Newton's Laws would explain this situation?

a) Newton's First Law
b) Newton's Second Law
c) Newton's Third Law
d) Newton's Law of Gravitation

Answer 1

The correct answer is Newton's First Law, also known as the Law of Inertia.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is Newton's First Law.

Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will continue to move at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.

In this situation, the large stone is at rest and unable to move. According to Newton's First Law, the stone will stay in its current state and not move unless there is an external force applied to it.
