Newton's first law states "Something at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced or outside force". "Something in motions stays in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced or outside force".

There are many applications of Newton's first law of motion. Consider some of your experiences in an automobile. Have you ever observed the behavior of coffee in a coffee cup filled to the rim while starting a car from rest or while bringing a car to rest from a state of motion? Coffee tends to "keep on doing what it is doing." When you accelerate a car from rest, the road provides an unbalanced force on the spinning wheels to push the car forward; yet the coffee (which was at rest) wants to stay at rest. While the car accelerates forward, the coffee remains in the same position; subsequently, the car accelerates out from under the coffee and the coffee spills in your lap. On the other hand, when braking from a state of motion the coffee continues forward with the same speed and in the same direction, ultimately hitting the windshield or the dash. Coffee in motion tends to stay in motion.

the force of an object is Equal to its mass X (times) its Acceleration. So if a ping pong ball and a soccer ball were dropped from the top of a roof the one that hits the ground with a greater force is of course the one with more mass.

Everyday situation exhibit newton's first law of motion?

A good example is a car driving down the road. The car may be accelerating at 30km/s2 and have a mass of 1800 kg. Then the car runs into a wall. The force of the impact can then be calculated at 54,000 N (Newtons). Other examples include a punch, a running person, or a ball that is thrown.
