Newton's First Law of Motion

An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion (constant speed and direction) unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

An object in motion will eventually stop without any force.

An object will accelerate if no force is applied.

An object will change direction only if a force is applied.

According to Newton's first law of motion,

balanced forces cause no change in the motion of an object.

an object will remain in motion only if it is in a vacuum.

balanced forces cause a change in an object's motion.

an object will accelerate unless a force is applied.

the speed and the direction of motion

the distance traveled over time

The constant velocity reached when air resistance equals the force of gravity on a falling object.

The maximum height an object can reach before falling back down.

The speed of an object when it is thrown upwards.

The speed at which an object falls indefinitely without any resistance.

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion.

Inertia is the energy stored in an object at rest.

Inertia is the speed of an object in motion.

Inertia is the force that causes an object to move faster.

How do friction and inertia affect an object's movement?

Friction slows down movement, while inertia resists changes in motion.

Friction and inertia both accelerate an object in motion.

Friction has no impact on movement, and inertia speeds up objects.

Friction increases speed, while inertia has no effect.

In order for an object to start moving,

a force at least as strong as friction must be continuously applied.

friction needs to be stronger than an applied force.

friction force must equal the applied force.

Why do objects STOP moving?

Objects stop moving because friction or another force acts on them.

Objects stop moving when they reach a certain speed.

Objects stop moving because they run out of energy.

Objects stop moving when they are pushed harder.

How will this object move?

It will move in both directions.
