..." As an illustration of the argument, we may take the first law of motion in physics, namely, that a body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless in either case acted upon by some external force. These are axioms which are... | |

...passivcness of matter, or its indifference to rest or motion. Newton's first law treats of this property — a body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will continue to move in a straight line and with a uniform velocity unless some force acts upon it. When a stone... | |

...motion, will go on arid on for ever until it is stopped," repeated Mrs. Compton. " That is inertia again. A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will continue in motion, until something happens to set off the one and to stop the other. As much force is required to stop... | |

...in course of time there was framed Newton's first law of motion ; and this law is as follows : — A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will continue to move uniformly and in a straight line, unless and until some external force acts upon it. The assumed... | |
