An object will stay at rest or continue to
move at a constant speed in a straight
line (at a constant velocity), unless
acted upon by an external net force.
Professor Mac Spock explains
DocScientia p 59 Newton's first law of motion/Law of inertia
73. The resistance of an object to a
change in its state of motion or
rest. Because of inertia objects
tend to remain at rest or continue at
uniform velocity.

74. Not a force – characteristic of
matter
Anything with mass has inertia
Mass is a measure of inertia
Greater mass = greater inertia

75. In a frictionless system:
Ball reaches same
height as where the
motion starts, even
when the slope is
reduced.
Loss in height is due to
friction.
The ball would continue
to roll as long as there

is no friction.
76. Net force is not necessary for continuous constant
motion in a straight line – it is needed to stop an
object.

changes in motion.

If a net force acts on an object, the
object will accelerate in the direction of

exists between any two objects in the

This force of attraction is directly
proportional to the product of the
masses of the objects and inversely
proportional to the squared distance
between their centres of gravity.
