Law of Motion
Newtons 1st law of motion states: An object at rest will remain at rest, -and-
an object moving at a constant velocity will continue moving at a constant velocity, -UNLESSit is acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Objects resist any change to their motion! Thats because larger objects have more This resistance is called INERTIA. inertia (more resistance to a change in Which one their wouldmotion)! be easier to push? or

The truck is stopped by the force of the impact with the car, but the ladder continues to move at its original speed and in its original direction because of inertia.

But wait How can his downward push cause his upward motion? NO WAY!
His feet push DOWN on the ground. The ground pushes UP on the man. There must be a force pushing UP! The force of the ground pushes him UP!

The mansA foot exerts a backward PAIR OF FORCES: EQUAL FORCES, push on the boat (actionBUT force), IN exerts OPPOSITE while the boat a forward DIRECTIONS push on the man (reaction force).
If forces are equal and in opposite directions, why dont they cancel out (and balance)?
These forces acting on Forces only are cancel if they different objects! act on the same object. (Think about a tug of war Action Force Rocket all forces act on the rope). engine pushing on gases. These forces acting Reaction Force are Gases on different objects! push on the rocket.
