Newton's First Law of Motion

Description:

Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. This law essentially describes the concept of inertia, where objects tend to resist changes in their state of motion.

Sample Sentences:

  • According to Newton's First Law of Motion, a book left on a table will remain there unless an external force, such as someone pushing it, acts upon it.
  • The First Law of Motion explains why a passenger in a moving vehicle tends to continue moving forward when the vehicle suddenly stops.
