Question
Which of Newton's laws of motion explains the act of
removing dust from a carpet by beating it?Solution
The First Law of Motion, also known as the law of inertia, explains this action. It states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force. In this case, the dust stays at rest until the carpet is beaten, causing it to be displaced.
