20 kg
300
What is inertia?
The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.

400
How would you describe the velocity of an object that is in equilibrium?
Constant
500
What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion
An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.
