Vehicles on a city street. Summary The first law and moving objects. Caption: The first law is sometimes called the law of inertia.

Provides an overview of how Newton's three laws of motion can be used to explain and predict the motion of everyday objects. The effect of friction, including air resistance, is highlighted, and the concept of inertia is illustrated with classic demonstrations. Features questions for class discussion, as well as the remarkable Rocketman, who provides a dramatic example of the third law in action. Accessibility options on the DVD are: (1) expanded description, (2) English subtitles in a black box, (3) subtitled description.
