    Remain in Its State of Rest or of Uniform Motion in A Straight Line

    Uploaded by

    Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the law of inertia, states that 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. Examples provided demonstrate the effect of inertia, including a coin falling into a glass when the cardboard it rests on is jerked quickly and a thread snapping when an attached load is yanked rather than pulled slowly due to the inertia resisting a change in the object's motion.

    Physics Form 4: Chapter 2 - Newton First Law of Motion (Inertia)

    Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line. Law of inertia is also known as Newton's First Law of Motion Newton's First Law of Motion state that an object will in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is acted upon by a net external force.

    Examples of effect of inertia:

    When the cardboard is jerked quickly, the coin will fall into the glass. Explanation: The inertia of the coin resists the change of its initial state, which is stationary. As a result, the coin does not move with the cardboard and falls into the glass because of gravity.

    Pull slowly - Thread A will snap.

    Explanation:
    Tension of thread A is higher than string B. Tension at A = Weight of the load + Pulling Force

    Yank quickly - Thread B will snap.


    Explanation: The inertia of the load prevents the force from being transmitted to thread A, hence causing thread B to snap.
