Unit 5-NYC Cab Struggles

This New York City cab clearly explains Newton's law of inertia in many ways. This cab of course is not moving which means that it is as rest; dictating that this cab will want to remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside, unbalanced force. This force/ action happens to be the thing that will cause this cab to move. When the driver presses on the gas pedal the cab will have to move because the wheels of the cab will be turning which will force the taxi and its driver to accelerate and to also start moving forward in the line of traffic.

    I like your example! It's interesting to see how physics is literally everywhere. -lauren

    I like the new york city cab analogy it's really creative and also shows both parts of newton's first law of motion.
