This week we talked about Newton's Laws of Motion. The first law, also known as the "Law of Inertia" states that objects at rest will tend to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside unbalanced force. Therefore, this can of Pringles will stay at rest on my desk unless another force acts upon it, like if I push it over. Also, if I eat chips from it, its mass will be lowered. Therefore, its inertia (its capability to continue in the states that it's in in) will decrease as well. Knowing this, it would be easier to push the can down.
