Everything stops. Yes, everything. And to be precise, nothing continuously moves.
Roll a ball. See it roll until it stops. What do you think is the cause? Why does it stop?
According to the laws of Motion made by Sir Isaac Newton, that action passes the standards of the law of inertia.
What is the Law of Inertia?
According to Sir Isaac Newton, an object when at rest stays at rest, unless if interacted by an opposite force. This means that an object will not move unless a force, (like pushing or air) interacts.
But come to think of it, if a ball continues to roll without any force stopping it, wouldn’t it be continuous?
An example of an opposite force is friction. When an object is in contact, friction helps it stop. Without it, it would be rolling and moving for time. (even weeks, years, er- forever!)
What I can Relate it to Real Life
For me, the law of inertia can be applied in real life. It is like a friendly reminder to stop for a break, or continue to move on. It is like a motivational quote that wil keep you from doing its best without pushing you to the limits unless if you require to. It can also serve as a warning, to stop the mistakes of the past or to continue the good choices for a better tomorrow.
