Question

Which statement supports Newton’s first law of motion?

A Planets can change the direction of their own orbital path.

B Planets with more inertia will not be impacted by the Sun’s gravity.

C Planets can move at a varying speed due to forces exerted in space.

D Planets with a greater mass will orbit more quickly than smaller planets.

Answer 1

C. Planets can move at a varying speed due to forces exerted in space.

Answer 2

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's first law of motion is "an object continues it's state of rest or uniform motion provided no net force acts on it". It is also called Inertial law. So, Planets with more inertia will not be impacted by the Sun's gravity.
