Because you never see objects moving forever. If you roll a ball across a table then a force causes it slow down and stop called friction.

Moving objects are usually subject to an unbalanced friction force. The net force on the object is thus not zero.

What law talks about objects at rest and in motion?

Newtons laws of motion


Which of newtons laws of motion deals with objects in motion stayin in straight-line motion is called what?

Newton's First Law called the Law of Inertia, deals with objects having constant motion staying in a straight-line.


Explain why friction changes the the Velocity of objects and why friction can make observing Newton's first law of motion difficult?

newtons laws are idealised and don't involve external forces like friction and air resistance


What is true of newtons first law the law of inertia it only describes objects in motion it only describes objects at rest?

Neither is true. It applies to both.


Why can friction make observing Newtons first law of motion difficult?

Newton's first law of motion categorizes any force affecting the motion as an external force. Friction being an external force, negates its presence as an integral force of a motion. Hence friction cannot be used to observe first law of motion.


What do balanced forces do to an object?

Balanced forces keep object in its state of motion (moving or at stop). An objects state of motion can be altered when it is subjected to an unbalanced force. This reflects Newtons first law of motion.


How does the law of gravity affect objects?

For every action there is a equal and opposite reaction... aka newtons 3rd law of motion. hoped that helped :)

How do Newtons Laws of motion apply to the motion of an animal?

Yes


What is mechanical motion?

It is the type of motion explained in Newtons three laws. Objects acting on one another on a pool table. Cause and effect of physical happenings. Lever, inclined plane, fulcrum, etc. in action.


What is theExplanation of newtons third of motion?

Newtons thrid law of motion is that every action has an opposite and equal reaction acting upon it


What does newtons first law of motion state about objects at rest and objects in motion?

An object in motion will not change its motion unless acted on by an external force. This applies to zero motion also.
