State Newton's Law for each Question 1. A secured object in an orbiting spacecraft remains at rest unless acted upon by
A. an electrical force
B. an external force
C. a magnetic force
D. a frictional force

10 POINT

B. an external force

Explanation:

Inertia can be defined as the tendency of an object or a body to continue in its state of motion or remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

In physics, Sir Isaac Newton's first law of motion is known as law of inertia and it states that, an object or a physical body in motion will continue in its state of motion at continuous velocity (the same speed and direction) or, if at rest, will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

Hence, a secured object in an orbiting spacecraft remains at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
