Newton's First Law in Everyday Life

Your coffee mug sitting on your desk perfectly demonstrates Newton's first law of motion.

Objects at rest stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force. That's why your

mug won't suddenly slide across your table on its own. But here's the fascinating part: this same

principle explains why you lurch forward when your car brakes suddenly. Your body wants

to keep moving at the same speed while the car slows down. Newton's first law isn't just physics

textbook theory, it's literally happening around you every single moment of every day.
