Which statements describe Newton’s first law? Check all that apply. A. An object must be at rest before a force can move it. B. An overall net force must be applied to an object before it can move. C. Newton’s first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia. D. Inertia does not apply to Newton’s first law. E. Newton’s first law applies to an object whether it is moving or not.
