We were able to learn about Newton's first law on how an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside unbalanced force and an object at rest will stay at rest or better known as the Law of Inertia. Inertia is an object's capability to stay in the same state of motion. An object's inertia is directly proportional to an object's mass. A great example of this is the waterfall I visited this weekend. The water wants to continually flow and fall. However once it reaches the bottom it can no longer fall. But even after the water falls it wants to continue to move which is why it flows down the river.
