Newton's Laws of Motion

What does Newton's First Law state about an object at rest?

• It will start moving on its own.

• It will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

• It will eventually move due to the Earth's rotation.

• It will remain at rest as long as it is on a flat surface.

According to Newton's Third Law, if you push on a wall, what does the wall do?

• It pushes back with a weaker force.

• It does not push back at all.

• It pushes back with the same force.

• It collapses.
