In 1687‚ Sir Isaac Newton published what are known today as Newton’s three laws of motion. If these laws didn’t exist‚ motion and life would not exist. His three laws are accurately relative to what "normal" speeds are on earth. Newton’s first law is most commonly referred to as the law of inertia. The law states that an object that is at rest will stay at rest unless an unbalanced force acts upon it‚ and vice-versa. If an object is moving and there is no force to move the object in a different
