Newton’s First Law of Motion

Newton’s First Law of Motion

The law of inertia: (originating with Galileo)

Every object continues in a state of rest or of uniform speed in a straight line unless acted on by a nonzero force.

Inertia in Action

Inertia in Action

Rapid deceleration is sensed by the driver who lurches forward.

It is also an example of Newton’s Second Law because no force stops the driver while the brakes stop the vehicle.

Inertia in Action

When you flip a coin in a high-speed airplane, it behaves as if the airplane were at rest.

The coin keeps up with you.
