      • If an object is released from rest and gains speed at a steady rate (as it would in free fall or when rolling down an inclined plane), then the total distance travelled by the object is proportional to the time squared needed for that travel. Mathematically, this is expressed as (begin {array} {l}spropto t^2end {array} )

  2. Inertia is the tendency for an object at rest to remain at rest, or for a moving object to remain in motion in a straight line with constant speed. This key property of objects was first described by Galileo.

  3. Newton’s first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. This is also known as the law of inertia .

  4. The First Law: Inertia. Newton’s first law of motion describes inertia. According to this law, a body at rest tends to stay at rest, and a body in motion tends to stay in motion, unless acted on by a net external force.

  5. Newton's First Law, sometimes referred to as the law of inertia, describes the influence of a balance of forces upon the subsequent movement of an object.

  6. The property of a body to remain at rest or to remain in motion with constant velocity is called inertia. Newton’s first law is often called the law of inertia. As we know from experience, some objects have more inertia than others. It is obviously more difficult to change the motion of a large boulder than that of a basketball, for example.

  7. Recognize friction as an external force. Define inertia. Identify inertial reference frames. Calculate equilibrium for a system. Experience suggests that an object at rest remains at rest if left alone and that an object in motion tends to slow down and stop unless some effort is made to keep it moving.
