Answer to Question #283680 in Mechanics | Relativity for Nax

Question

Explain newton first law.

Answer 1

Explanation

• "The first law states that, an object would either stay at rest or move at a constant velocity until an unbalanced force acts on it".

• This law deals with the inertia of an object.
• Force is the doer of work and yet forces can act on something in a balanced manner so that there is now net force or unbalanced force. That is why an unbalanced force is essentially used in the law.

• This law should be called being in an inertial frame of reference to be true and it does not make sense in non-inertial frames of reference.
