Inertia

The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion unless an outside force acts on the object

• Motion

• Inertia

• Speed

Newton's First law of Motion is also called:

• The law of Gravity

• F=ma

• The Law of Physics

• The law of Nature

• The law of Inertia.

The tendency of of an object to stay in its current state of motion.

• Acceleration

• Momentum

•  Impulse

• Intertia

• Friction

Give an example of where we can see Newton's 1st law in action. Explain how this law applies to your example.
