Newton's first law of motion

What does Newton’s first law of motion say?

That an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction, unless acted upon by an unbalance force

Without friction to slow down a moving object( and nothing to knock the object off its path):

The object would keep going the same speed, on the same path

What is Newton’s first law also known as?

Law of Inertia, basically means that objects tend to keep doing what they’re doing unless something interrupts them

What is Inertia?

A tendency to do nothing or remain unchanged, and all matter resists changes in motion.

The first law of motion only works if:

Forces are balanced— that is, if there’s nothing to change the object’s course

The object is in a state of equilibrium which means?

The condition in which all forces balance, and won’t accelerate, decelerate, or change course
