In this introductory course on physics, we delve into Newton's First Law, which defines the concept of inertia—the tendency of objects to maintain their state of motion unless acted upon by an external force. We explore key principles such as net force, the equilibrium rule, and the characteristics of dynamic equilibrium. Concepts are illustrated through practical examples and problem-solving exercises, aiding students in understanding how moving objects behave under balanced and unbalanced forces.
