Question
newtons first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.
examples of newtons first law of motion:
- a ball rolling down a hill keeps rolling until another force stops it.
- a book is pushed across a desk and it keeps sliding until it reaches the edge or an outside force acts upon it.
- a soccer ball is at rest, and will remain at rest until another force acts on it, like a kick.
choose the correct answer
a car you are in suddenly stops and you continue moving forward until the seat - belt stops you. what is this an example of?
density
volume
inertia
Newton's First Law of Motion involves inertia, the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion. When the car stops and you continue moving forward until the seat - belt stops you, it's due to inertia.
