1. Inertia is the property of an object that resists changes to its state of motion. If an object is at rest, it tends to remain at rest; if it is moving, it tends to keep moving.

  2. Isaac Newton further studied Galileo's ideas on force and motion. He built upon Galileo's foundational work and formulated three fundamental laws of motion, which have become essential principles in classical mechanics.

    Galileo’s argument suggests that an unbalanced (external) force is not required to sustain uniform motion. He proposed that an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force, such as friction, which counters its motion and causes a change in velocity.

  5. If the right-side plane is made horizontal, the object will continue to move in a straight line with constant velocity. This is because there would be no unbalanced force acting on it, demonstrating Newton's first law of motion.
