Which of the following best describes Newton's First Law of Motion?

• An object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

• The force of an object is equal to its mass times acceleration.

• For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

• The velocity of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it.

• The momentum of an object is conserved.

If a 10 kg object experiences a force of 20 N, what is its acceleration?

• 5 m/s²

• 0.5 m/s²

• 200 m/s²

• 2 m/s²

• 10 m/s²
