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

Law
The
behaviour
of all
objects
can be
described
by
saying
that
objects
tend
to
"
keep
on
doing
what
they're
doing
" (
unless
acted
upon
by
an
unbalanced
force
)

Newton's First Law
All objects resist changes in their state of
motion
- they tend to "
keep
on
doing
what
they're
doing.
" This
resistance
is
called
inertia.
The more
inertia
, the
higher
the
mass
of the object.
