In Newton's First Law, presenter Spiro Liacos is 'thrown forward' in a head-on collision, 'thrown backwards' when his tram takes off, and 'thrown to the side' when his car suddely turns a corner. But in fact none of these things actually happen! Using brilliant visuals, this episode looks at the fact that an object will remain stationary or move with a constant velocity unless a force acts on it. It also describes a number of different forces that affect our lives daily.
