What is Newton's First Law? What is the formula for Newton's First Law?

Newton's First Law describes the natural state of motion of an object when no external force is acting upon it. It introduces the concept of inertia and serves as an important foundation for Newton's other laws and classical mechanics.

In Vietnam, what is the grade at which Newton's First Law is taught in Physics?

Under Section 5 of the Appendix to the General Education Program for Physics issued together with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, learning outcomes required after completing the 10th-grade Physics curriculum in Vietnam are as follows:

*Three Newtonian Laws of Motion

- Conduct experiments, or use provided data to derive a ~ F, a ~ 1/m, and from there derive the expression a = F/m or F = ma (Newton's Second Law).

- Based on available results (from experiments or provided data), or reason using a = F/m, it can be concluded that mass is a quantity characteristic of an object's inertia.

- State Newton's First Law and illustrate it with specific examples.

- Apply the relationship between derived units and the 7 base units of the SI system.

- State that the gravitational force acting on an object is the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the object; the center of gravity of an object is the point where gravitational force acts on it; the weight of an object is its mass multiplied by the free-fall acceleration.

- Describe using real-world examples about equal and unequal forces.

- Qualitatively describe free-fall motion in a uniform gravitational field with air resistance.

- Execute projects or research topics applying the increase or decrease of air resistance according to the shape of the object.

- State Newton's Third Law, illustrate it with specific examples, and apply Newton's Third Law in some simple cases.

Thus, Newton's First Law is taught in the 10th-grade Physics curriculum.
