Question

Suppose an object is moving in a straight line at 50 miles/hr. According to Newton's first law of motion, the object will _________.a. continue to move in the same way forever, no matter what happens. b. continue to move in the same way until it is acted upon by a force. c. eventually slow down and come to a stop. d. continue to move in a straight line forever if it is in space, but fall to the ground if it is on Earth.

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that a body will remain in its state of rest or if its in motion will continue to move in a straight line, unless its acted upon by an external force.The ability of an object to stay at rest or in motion if its in motion is known as inertia.

Hence the correct option is B.
