Tom is sitting facing forward in the train as it is getting ready to leave the station. He puts a smooth ball on the train floor
. The train jolts into motion, accelerating rapidly up to speed. According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to the ball? (1 point) A) Nothing changes.
B) The ball rolls forward slowly.
C) The ball rolls forward rapidly.
D) The ball rolls backward.
According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to the ball is the ball rolls backward.
<h3>What is the first law?</h3>
This means that an object at rest or in motion will remain uniformly rectilinear and tend to be in that state if the net force on it is zero.
In this case, we have to think that the ball is at rest and the train is moving with a velocity that way, the reaction of the ball will be to go in the opposite direction to the motion.
The independent variable is the different amount of repellent each person is given. This is because it does not depend on any variable. The dependent variable is what they are measuring, which would be the number of bites on each volunteer. I hope this helps! :)
