Newton’s First Law of Motion By Hunter Boatright What it Means • States that an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion maintains its velocity unless it experiences an unbalanced force Examples • A good example is seatbelts. Seatbelts in a car stop you from flying out of the windshield when you’re in a accident. The car comes to a sudden stop and your body would keep moving if it wasn’t for seatbelts. Inertia • Inertia is something else that describes Newton’s First Law. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object. Inertia is also related to an object’s mass Facts • Newton’s First Law is described in one sentence; matter resists anything that is in motion. It is also called the Law of Inertia. Mass is the measure of inertia. A smaller object has less inertia. The bigger the object the more force is required to move it. The smaller the object the less force is required to move it. Objects tend to maintain their state of motion
