What are some examples of Newtons first law?

  • Answer:

    A box sitting on the floor won't move unless something moves it. A rolling ball will keep moving until something stops it. It won't stop by itself. Even when it hits a wall, it doesn't really stop. It keeps moving and compresses itself until it is forced to move in the opposite direction (another of Newton's laws of motion). That's why cars crumple when they are involved in an accident. An object flying through space can travel forever as long as it doesn't run into anything. There isn't anything to stop it. That's why the Voyager spacecraft, launched in 1977, has been able to travel beyond our solar system. As far as I know, it's still going.
