These laws describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the force acting on it. They are essential because they are the foundation of classical mechanics, one of the main branches of physics. It was <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Isaac_Newton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isaac Newton<\/a> who established these laws, and he used these laws to explain many physical

Here&#8217;s a summary of the relationship between mass and inertia:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">All objects resist changes in their state of motion; this tendency is known as inertia.\u00a0 But do some objects exhibit a greater tendency to resist changes than others? Absolutely yes! The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion varies with mass (Remember: Mass is the quantity that is solely dependent upon the inertia of an object).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The greater the inertia an object has, the more mass it possesses.\u00a0 A more massive object has a greater tendency to resist changes in its state of motion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suppose that there are two seemingly identical bricks at rest on the physics lecture table. Yet one brick consists of mortar and the other brick consists of Styrofoam. Without lifting the bricks, how could you tell which brick was the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Styrofoam brick<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? You could give the bricks an identical push in an effort to change their state of motion. The brick that offers the least resistance is the brick with the least inertia &#8211; and therefore the brick with the least mass (i.e., the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Styrofoam brick<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">A common physics demonstration relies on the principle that the more massive an object is, the more it resists changes in its state of motion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The demonstration goes as follows: several massive books are placed upon a teacher&#8217;s head. A wooden board is placed on top of the books and a hammer is used to drive a nail into the board. Due to the large mass of the books, the force of the hammer is sufficiently resisted (inertia). This is demonstrated by the fact that the teacher does not feel the hammer blow. (Of course, this story may explain many of the observations that you previously made concerning your &#8220;weird physics teacher.&#8221;) A common variation of this demonstration involves breaking a brick over the teacher&#8217;s hand using the swift blow of a hammer. The massive bricks resist the force and the hand is not hurt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Newton explained that the mass of an object is a measurement of its inertia. In other words, objects with different masses, moving at the same speed, will have different inertial properties, with the one having greater mass exhibiting greater inertia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In summary, the relationship between mass and inertia is such that the mass of an object directly influences its inertia. Heavier objects have more inertia than lighter objects, and mass serves as a measure of an object&#8217;s resistance to changes in its state of motion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5065 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/praxilabs.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Newtons-First-Law-of-Motion-7.webp\" alt=\"Real Life Examples of Newton\u2019s First Law (Examples of Law of Inertia)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/praxilabs.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Newtons-First-Law-of-Motion-7.webp 1024w, https:\/\/praxilabs.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Newtons-First-Law-of-Motion-7-300x201.webp 300w, https:\/\/praxilabs.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Newtons-First-Law-of-Motion-7-768x515.webp 768w, https:\/\/praxilabs.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Newtons-First-Law-of-Motion-7-110x75.webp 110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Real_Life_Examples_of_Newtons_First_Law_Examples_of_Law_of_Inertia\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>\u00a0Real Life Examples of Newton\u2019s First Law (<a href=\"https:\/\/praxilabs.com\/en\/blog\/2021\/12\/19\/examples-of-law-of-inertia\/\">Examples of Law of Inertia<\/a>)<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Now we will show some examples newton&#8217;s first law of motion examples in everyday life:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The electric fan continues to move for a period after the electricity is turned off.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">When the bus stops suddenly, people fall forward.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If an index card is placed on top of a glass with a penny on top of it, the index card can be quickly removed while the penny falls straight into the glass, as the penny is demonstrating inertia.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If an index card is placed on top of a glass with a penny on top of it, the index card can be quickly removed while the penny falls straight into the glass, as the penny is demonstrating inertia.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a ball is on a slanted surface and you let go, gravity will make it roll down the slope.

The initial vertical speed of the parachutist is zero. However, he will immediately be acted upon by his weight acting vertically downwards and since the external resultant force is not zero he will accelerate downwards. As the parachutist\u2019s speed increases so does the air resistance. This opposes the downwards force of his weight and means that he will not increase in speed indefinitely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> Eventually the air resistance will increase until it equals his weight. At this point the resultant force on the parachutist will be zero and he will stop accelerating; instead he will continue to fall at a constant or terminal velocity. When the parachutist pulls the rip-cord and the parachute is opened, the air resistance is suddenly increased such that it is greater than his weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> The resultant force is upwards meaning that the parachutist will start to decelerate. This will continue with the air resistance reducing until the forces are again equal and the speed of fall is constant. At this point the terminal velocity should be only a few m s\u22121.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5068 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/praxilabs.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Newtons-First-Law-of-Motion-10.webp\" alt=\"Newton's First Law Used in Everyday Life- A Car Parked at Rest on A Hill\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/praxilabs.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Newtons-First-Law-of-Motion-10.webp 1024w, https:\/\/praxilabs.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Newtons-First-Law-of-Motion-10-300x158.webp 300w, https:\/\/praxilabs.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Newtons-First-Law-of-Motion-10-768x404.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b>2) A Car Parked at Rest on A Hill<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">For a car parked at rest on a hill, the three forces (friction, weight, and normal reaction force) have zero resultant force.
