Many a times question arises that what is Newton's first law of motion- Definition, Examples and what is its formula.  Our Today discussion about the newtons first law of motion. Let's start. Newton's laws of motion. Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) made a systematic study of motion and extended the ideas of Galileo. He arrived at three laws of motion which are called Newton's laws of motion.  What is Newtons First Law of Motion? This law consists of three parts: First part says that a body at rest continues in its state of rest. An external force has to be applied on it to make it move. A chair lying on the floor will continue to remain there unless we displace it. Second part says that a body in motion continues moving in a straight path with a uniform speed. This part seems to be contrary to our everyday experience. A rolling ball comes to rest on a rough ground. This is because of the force of friction. The ball moves through a larger distance on a smooth floor...
