Explore Newton's First Law of Motion and its role in sudden movements.
Newton's First Law of Motion, often called the law of inertia, states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. When a bus starts suddenly, your body wants to remain at rest due to inertia. As a result, you may fall backward in response to the force applied by the bus. Understanding this law helps explain various aspects of motion, from car accidents to space travel.
