The focus of Lesson 1 is Newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. Newton's first law of motion is often stated as An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force .

Newton’s first law of motion states that there must be a cause—which is a net external force—for there to be any change in velocity, either a change in magnitude or direction. An object sliding across a table or floor slows down due to the net force of friction acting on the object.
Learn what is Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia, and how it relates to external force and motion. See examples, problems, derivation, video lecture and FAQs on this topic.
Sep 30, 2023 · Newton’s first law states that “An object at rest stays at rest, and object in motion stays at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted upon by force”. There are two parts to this law.
Jun 20, 2024 · Newton’s laws of motion, three statements describing the relations between the forces acting on a body and the motion of the body, first formulated by English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton, which are the foundation of classical mechanics. Newton’s first law: the law of inertia.
The three laws of motion were first stated by Isaac Newton in his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ( Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy ), originally published in 1687. [3] Newton used them to investigate and explain the motion of many physical objects and systems.
Newton's first law states that objects move with constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. If the net force on an object is zero, it will remain at rest (if already at rest) or continue moving with constant speed and direction.
