Newton's Law of Motion (Newton's First Law)

Fundamentally, all objects tend to stay in their current position. If it is stand still, it wants to stay that way. If it is in motion, it wants to keep on moving. This property is known as inertia.
Newton’s first law states that:
If the force or resultant of force working on an object is zero, the object will stay at rest or keep on moving with constant velocity in a straight line.
This is also known as the law of inertia, which is mathematically written as pillows.
ΣF = 0

The tendency for a car to sit still when we push it is example of the inertia property of object.
