Exercise
Newton's First Law and Inertia
In this engaging exercise, students will explore Newton's First Law of Motion by conducting hands-on experiments to observe inertia in action, allowing them to understand how an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion continues moving unless acted upon by an external force. Through interactive demonstrations and discussions, learners will connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications.
