Question

Which of the following is true of Newton's First Law?

A. The greater the object's mass, the great its inertia, and the greater the needed force to move it

B. Increasing the mass on an object experiencing the same force would decrease the acceleration

C. A baseball hits collides with a fence and they exchange forces

D. An object at rest will move due to an applied balanced force

Answer 1

D. An object at rest will move due to an applied balanced force

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's first law states that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion, until acted upon by an unbalanced forced. In other words, a net force is required for a change in motion.

Answers A and B are true of Newton's second law (F=ma), and answer C is true of Newton's third law (every action has an opposite and equal reaction).
