The BEST example of Newton's 1st Law (inertia) from the given situations is:
"A bird takes flight from the ground."
This situation exemplifies inertia because it demonstrates the bird's transition from a state of rest (when it is on the ground) to a state of motion (when it takes flight). According to Newton's 1st Law, an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by a net external force. The bird must apply a force to overcome its inertia to take off.
