Newton's First Law
This week in Physics, we learned about Newton's laws.  His first law titled, "Law of Inertia", states that objects in motion (or at rest) will tend to stay in motion (or at rest) unless acted upon by an outside, unbalanced force.  For example, a ball at rest wants to stay at rest and only moves when it is kicked or thrown.  In this case, the outside, unbalanced force is the person kicking or throwing the ball.

This bunch of bananas are a perfect example of Newton's first law.  They are at rest therefore they want to stay at rest.  The only way they would move is if they were moved by an outside, unbalanced force which would be someone grabbing them.
