According to Newton's First Law, which statement is true?

The assertion that all objects resist changes in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force is a fundamental principle of physics known as inertia, which is encapsulated in Newton's First Law of Motion. This law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. It highlights the natural tendency of objects to maintain their state of motion—whether that is being stationary or moving—unless influenced by an external force.

Inertia is the reason why a stationary object requires a force to start moving, and a moving object requires a force to stop, slow down, or change direction. This reinforces the concept that all objects, regardless of their state of motion or rest, exhibit resistance to changes in that state until an unbalanced force is applied. This unbalanced force can be due to various factors, including gravity, friction, or applied force.

The other choices do not accurately reflect Newton's First Law. For example, the notion that only moving objects can experience changes in motion overlooks the fact that static objects also need a force to initiate movement. Saying that objects at rest will stay at rest only when in a vacuum incorrectly limits this principle to a specific condition, neglecting the universal application of inertia in
