Answer:

The definition of Newton's first law is: The velocity of an object will not change unless the object is acted on by an outside force. Force=(mass). (acceleration).

The First Law states, "A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force."

This simply means that things cannot start, stop or change direction all by themselves. It requires some force acting on them from the outside to cause such a change.

The most famous equation is

Fnet= Mass * acceleration

This means that the Net force is equal to the mass of the object times its acceleration
