Answer:

Newton's first law states all objects have inertia, or resistance to change motion. Example: the car that breaks abruptly.

Answer:

An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an athlete tries to stop his career, it takes several meters to stop completely, due to the inertia produced.

When trying to push a car, at first it is very difficult, because, due to inertia, the car tends to remain still. But once it is put into motion, the effort is much less to be done, since then inertia causes it to keep moving.
