- a Newton's law that states that everybody continues in its state of uniform motion in a right line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it
- b states that an object continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless compelled to change that state by an external force
- c a general suggestion to find this width is to assume a standing position with feet hip width apart and on foot slightly in front of the other. Consider this when striving for optimum body mechanics
- d what law is this? The bigger a body you are working with is, the more force you will be required to use to invoke a change.

5 True/False Questions
-
Dynamic alignment is also known as → The law of structural alignment
-
law of structural alignment → structure reflects the relationships and connections within the body. No muscles work alone
-
Breathing → this means that you have found a center of physical balance. Physically and mentally
-
Example of Newton's third law → what law is this? if a client has an adhesion, chances are that this adhesion will remain unless some kind of input (massage, movement, etc.) is put upon it
