It's a true or false question. Newton's second law is often called the law of inertia?

False, the first law is the law of inertia not the second. An object in motion tends to remain in motion. The second law refers to the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. The last one is an action has an equal and opposite reactions, such as stepping off a boat at a dock, you go toward the dock and the boat goes away from you.It's a true or false question.

From the ';Do Your Own Homework Committee';:





I googled this in about fifteen seconds: ';Newton, laws, wiki';

Your answer is ';False';, as inertia applies to Newton's first law.
No!!!





The law of inertia is Newton's first law of motion...





A body at rest will still be at rest, unless an external force will be applied to it...


A body in motion will still be in motion, at constant velocity, unless a force will be applied to it...





The Newton's second law of motion states that the net force experienced by a object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and its acceleration...
That's Newton's first law.


Inertia: The property of objects to resist change in motion.





The second law is the law of acceleration.
true.
