Question

Describe one of the examples Dr. Jeff gave for Newton's 1st law of motion in the video.(1 point)

Answer 1

In the video, Dr. Jeff illustrates Newton's 1st law of motion by using the example of a hockey puck sliding on ice. He explains that when the puck is in motion, it will continue to slide in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force, such as friction from the ice or a collision with a player or the board. This demonstrates the principle that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion, unless influenced by an outside force.
