Why is Newton's first law of motion also called law of inertia?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to Newton.s first law of motion, a body by itself can not change its state of rest or state of uniform motion in a straight line. This property of body is called inertia. That is way Newton.s first law of motion is also called law of inertia
