Newtons first law of motion was discovered on 1687. The first law states that an object in motion will remain to be in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force assuming that gravity is a force (gravity is not a force actually). For example when you strike a pool ball or a striker in carom stops moving or slows down because there is a frictional force is acting on the ball or striker. As you can see i have used the word “unbalanced” because for example in a game of tug-of-war both teams or sides are tugging at the rope, but one side wins because the tug on the rope is unbalanced therefore a team moves across a line that defines a victory.

GALILEO GALILEI

Galileo Galilei discovered the theory of inertia in the first decade of the seventeenth century. Inertia is basically newtons first law. When an object is at rest it remains to be at rest and when an object is in motion it remains to be in motion unless a force is acted upon it. On the other hand this theory was restated and improvised on by Newton which is now called newtons first law. Newton has also made the second and third theory of motion which i will be writing on my farther blogs.
