Newton's+1st+Law

=Newton's 1st Law= (Newton's Law of Inertia)

//An object in motion will remain in motion at the same speed and direction unless acted on by another force. An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by another force.//

What does this mean?
Well, basically Newton was saying that objects will keep moving at the same speed, in the same direction unless something stops is. Objects at rest will keep resting unless acted on by another force. = =

Dog Inertia
An example of this happening in everyday life.....well I can't REALLY say everyday life because what you are going to see isn't exactly normal.....you will see what I mean.

The dog didn't (still doesn't) like going for walks. To get him out of the house I have to drag him to the front door. When this happened a few times, I realized that this showed Newton's 1st law. The dog is the object at rest, I am the force that reacts against the dog. Gravity is pulling the dog down to earth and I am dragging it to the door. The flooring where I was, didn't have much friction because where I was dragging the dog, there was no carpet. With the dog's fur, and not much friction, it was quite easy to work against gravity.
