Newton's First Law: InertiaWhile you’re ice-skating with your friends, you push off from one end of the rink and slide forward. Based on Newton’s first law of motion, what is true?You will lose your balance and fall over before you reach the middle of the ice rink.You will continue to slide across the ice until a force makes you stop or change direction.The force of gravity will make you keep your velocity until your friends make you stop.The size of your ice skates will determine how quickly or slowly you travel across the ice.

"You will continue to slide across the ice until a force makes you stop or change direction."
Explanation: Newton’s first law (law of inertia) says an object in motion stays in motion at constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. On the ice the main forces that will change your motion are friction, air resistance, or a push from someone — not an automatic loss of balance or gravity keeping you moving.
