The Law of Inertia

Newton's first law states that an object has a certain inertia, which allows it to resist a change in its state. Mass is the measure of this inertia, and is measured in kilograms (if using SI units). As a result of this inertia, an object that is at rest will remain at rest, and one with a constant velocity will continue moving with that velocity, unless acted upon by another object.


Unless something moves this turtle, it will remain still until it chooses to move.
