Newton

=**Newton's First Law of Motion**=

An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

This means that if there are no forces working on an object then it will stay in the same state of motion, either moving or at rest. On the earth there is the constant force of gravity working on every object. Gravity pulls downwards towards the earth. If you apply an outside force you can make objects move. Example: throwing a baseball. When you throw a baseball one outside force is you throwing the ball, the ball does not go forever though because either someone catches it, this is an outside force stopping the motion of the ball, or gravity pulls down upon the ball until it reaches the earth.
