In the following interactive students will begin to define mass and inertia and understand Newton's first law of motion.

By the end of this section, you will be able to define mass and inertia and to understand Newton's First Law of Motion: There exists an inertial frame of reference such that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in...

A clear explanation of Newton's First Law of Motion, the law of inertia, with diagrams and real-world examples. Useful for both students and teachers. Written by a high school physics teacher.

This video describes Newton's three laws of motion and how they relate to the everyday motion of a bicycle. [3:33] Followed by a short quiz and a list of additional resources to explore.

Use this outline to find out about Newton's Laws of Motion. Use the different lesson plans covering the laws of motion to learn more.

This is part of a lesson on Newton's Laws of Motion that focuses on inertia and mass. It restates Newton's first law of motion. The lesson also gives a helpful visual description concerning friction.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore the concept of inertia and how it applies to Newton's First Law. They also learn about Newton's Second Law and answer both numerical and conceptual...

This lesson introduces Newton's First Law, that inertia causes objects at rest to remain at rest, and objects in motion to remain in motion. It is 1 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's First Law."

This lesson introduces Newton's First Law, that inertia causes objects at rest to remain at rest, and objects in motion to remain in motion. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's First Law."

Through a series of three lessons and one activity, students are introduced to inertia, forces, and Newton's three laws of motion.

NBC Learn, in partnership with the United States Golf Association, uncovers the science, technology, engineering and math behind the game of golf. For lesson plans provided by the National Science Teachers Association, open the video and...

Newton's three laws are deceptively simple, but they are the underpinning of all of physics and govern the mechanics all of your actions in everyday life. Take an in-depth look at these laws in this learning module.

Physiclips thoroughly presents Newton's laws with animations and film clips.

A video and a short multiple-choice quiz on the meaning of inertia.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The four types of friction and how they act on objects.

This lesson focuses on Newton's First Law: an object remains in the same state of motion unless a resultant force acts on it. If the resultant force on an object is zero, this means: a stationary object stays stationary; a moving object...
