Explanation

• Newton’s First Law of Motion is also called the Law of Inertia.
• It states that an object remains at rest or continues moving at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force.
• Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of rest or motion.
• Proposed by: Sir Isaac Newton in Principia Mathematica (1687).

Explanation

• Observation is the first step in the scientific method, which is used to solve biological problems.
• Scientists make observations about the natural world, notice patterns or phenomena, and ask questions about what they have observed.

The correct order of the scientific method is:

• Observation
• Question
• Hypothesis
• Prediction
• Experimentation
• Data analysis
• Conclusion

Explanation

• A pair of unlike parallel forces (forces that act in opposite directions) with different lines of force produce a couple.
• It is also known as a moment or torque.
• This is a rotational force that tends to cause rotation around a pivot point or axis.
