Grade 7 Week 21: Newton's First Law
Newton's First Law
What is Newton's First Law?
What does it mean?
Week 21 has you inventing a lab that showcases Newton's First Law of Motion.
Newton's first law is Inertia. Inertia means an objest that is in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest stays in rest. For example, if you would roll a bottle down a ramp it would keep rolling until an outside force hits it or stops it. For an example of how and object stays in rest is if you put two glass bottles on top of each other and you put a dollar bill in between them you should be able to pull out the dollar without the top bottle falling but it has to be lined up with the other bottle perfectly.

How many laws does newton have?
the law of inertia and it means that if no forces are applied the object should maintain the same velocity.
Doesnt Newton have 3 or 4 Laws?
Can someone please help me undrestand inertia better?
How does mass and inertia compare?
Inertia's really complicated, thats basically all i no :)
where's the anonymous person dat always answers the questions?

Newtons First Law is motion. Also known as the Law of inertia.
