"Issac Newton's 1st Law of Motion states that an object's motion won't change unless acted upon by a force. If the object is moving, it will continue to move and if an object is still, it will remain still until acted on by a force."

Please describe an example from your investigations that supports Issac's 1st law. Back up your answer with detailed evidence.
