One of Isaac newton's most important contributions was determining the three laws of physics. His first law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at the same speed and same direction unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Some examples of this law are below.
1. When a car is going and suddenly stops, the passengers will move forward.
2. When a pilot turns the plane and the passengers will want to stay the same direction so it feels like they got pulled the opposite way.
3. When a coffee mug gets left on a car and then the driver speeds away, the cup will want to stay at rest so it will slide off the back of the car.

∙ 10y agoInertia: "A body in motion tends to stay in motion, while a body at rest tends to stay at rest."
1. Drive a car at 50 mph, and put it in neutral. The car coasts, only slowed by friction.
2. Ride a bike and then stop pedaling. The bike continues to roll forward.
3. A car going 50 mph rear ends a dump truck filled with rock. The truck barely moves forward at all.
4. A Bowling ball is thrown at the pins. It rolls all the way at a 'constant' speed.
5. The guns on a battleship fire a volley of shells. The shells sail for miles at a relatively constant speed.

Is it possible to add vectors representing force of 5 newton and 200 dyne?
One dyne = 10^-5 newtons, so yes.
What is the force on on kg object accelerating 0-5 in25 seconds?
A force is not measured in kilograms. The kilogram is a unit of mass; forces are measured in newtons. You can get the force with Newton's Second Law. In this problem, you will need some additional information, specifically, the object's mass.
How much pressure do you experience when you balance a 5 kg ball on the tip of your finger say an area of 1cm cubed?
First of all, "cm cubed" is a volume, not an area. "cm squared" is an area.On earth, the downward force (weight) exerted by a 5-kg mass is 49 newtons (11.02 pounds).pressure = (force) / (area) = 49 newtons per cm2 = 490 kilopascal.Also 71.1 PSI. (rounded)
What can you say about an object at rest pulled in opposite directions by unequal forces?
An object at rest pulled in opposite directions by unequal forces will start to move in the direction of the net force. For example, if I have a chair, and I'm pushing with 10 newtons to the right, and my sister is pushing 5 newtons to the left, the net force is 5 newtons to the right. Therefore, I win, and the chair moves to the right, in the direction of the net force.
A baby pushes a toy across the floor with a force of 5 Newtons Which is this an example of?
Newton's first law,'cause the toy on the floor does not move until the baby applies an external force of 5 Newtons on the toy.
Which is a greater fource- 13 newtons or 5 newtons?
5 newton
What are 5 examples of unbalanced forces?
Anything that is accelerating or decelerating because it is only balanced when something is moving at a constant speed.
What happends if forces are unbalanced?
Movment. Ex.> force of 10 newtons-><-force of 5 newtons movement of 5 newtons->
When bobby's age 5 and his dad are skipping pebbles on the pond the pebbles that bobby's dad throws go farther and faster than his what law of motion is this?
Newtons law
How many newtons are in 5 grams?
About 5mN (five milli Newtons)

How many dynes are there in 5 newtons?
5 Newton = 500,000 Dyne.
Which is the greatest force 10pounds 10 kilograms 10 newtons 50newtons?
A force of 9.8 N is the force exerted on a 1 kilogram mass at rest by the force of Earth's gravity at sea level. So 10 N is the force of about a 1.02 kg mass (approximately 2.25 pounds force)This is a scalar measurement.
How many kilogram are in 5 Newtons?
0.51 kg
How many newtons does a 5 kg backpack weigh on earth?
It weighs 49.3728 newtons. Trust me I got it right on my test.
Why does hot water cool quicker in the first 5 minutes?
This is because of newtons law of cooling, the rate that the water cools is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the water and the temperature of the surroundings. So, as the water is hotter it cools faster, as it cools down the rate of cooling decreases.
