Explanation:

Both 1 and 2

"An object remains in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change that state by an applied force": This is Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia. It states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.

"Objects have a tendency to maintain their velocity until a force acts on them": This is a paraphrased version of Newton's first law, emphasizing the tendency of objects to maintain their state of motion (either at rest or moving with constant velocity) unless an external force is applied.

Therefore, both statements express the same principle described by Newton's first law of motion.
