Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Newton’s first law of motion is involved in this case.
The coin is in a state of rest and has some mass. This mass will tend to resist the change in state which is according to Newton’s first law of motion. Since the coin is at rest, it will have the inertia of rest. Hence, it will fall into the glass. If a heavier coin is used, again, the coin will fall into the glass.
Newton's first law of motion is involved in this case which states that everybody tends to resist the change of state, whether in rest or motion when acted by an external force.
