How does newtons first law refer to discus?

Answer 1

It refers to discus because when you throw the discus, it will keep going in one direction until something hits it, then it will go in the direction it gets it. But if the wind effected it's direction, that would also refer to newton's first law of motion since his 1st law of motion is:

"An object at rest will remain at rest until an outside force acts upon it. "

Answer 2

Newton's first law states that an object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an external force. When applied to discus throwing, it means that the discus will continue on its path unless acted upon by external forces like air resistance or gravity. The athlete must apply a force to launch the discus and account for these external forces to ensure accuracy and distance in the throw.
