First Law of Motion


This is a picture of my friend Brachelle blocking a ball with another ball when she was playing dodge ball at our Ring Social this past Friday. This picture shows Isaac Newton’s First Law of Motion, which is objects in motion will tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside, unbalanced force. The green ball in the picture coming towards Brachelle remained in motion until she hit it away with the purple ball which acted as the outside, unbalanced force that stopped the green ball from remaining in motion. Newton’s First Law of Motion also states that objects at rest will tend to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside, unbalanced force.
