Introduction to Newton's First Law

Newton's First Law, also known as the Law of Inertia, states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This fundamental principle describes the natural state of motion for objects. It highlights that a change in an object's state of motion requires an external influence.
