Considering Newton's first law of motion, what is the best way to relate a stationary object and a moving object?

A. They obey exactly the same law of motion since they can both be the same object when considered from different perspectives.

B. They obey opposite laws of motion because they represent two opposite states of an object.

C. They obey exactly the same laws of motion even though an object can only be considered as one or the other, and not both at once.

D. The first law of motion only applies to objects in motion, and not to objects that are stationary.

C

Explanation:

The first law states that an object at rest, stays at rest and an object in motion, stays in motion. They obey exactly the same laws. One object must be in a moving state or a constant state. It cannot be both.
