Newton's First Law of Motion, often called the law of inertia, states that an object will stay at rest or keep moving at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force. This means that if nothing pushes or pulls on an object, it won't change its state of motion. For examplRead more
Newton’s First Law of Motion, often called the law of inertia, states that an object will stay at rest or keep moving at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force. This means that if nothing pushes or pulls on an object, it won’t change its state of motion. For example, a ball sitting on the ground won’t roll until someone kicks it, and a hockey puck sliding on ice will keep going until friction or another player stops it. Essentially, this law highlights how objects resist changes in their motion.
