Answer:

When a person jumps out of a moving vehicle, he falls forward due to inertia of motion. One example of Newton's first law in real life is, when you are walking with a glass filled with water, you will notice that the water spills at certain locations when you walk at faster pace. The water inside the glass will remain at rest until you move.

Answer:Newton's first law states that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.

An object at rest stays at rest.
