A bowling ball is moving down a flat bowling lane at a constant speed. Which statements best describe the movement of this bowling ball? Select all that apply.

Question

• A. Its movement is caused by unbalanced forces.

• B. Its movement changes without a force acting upon it.

• C. Its movement shows Newton's first law of motion.

• D. Its movement shows Newton's third law of motion.

• E. Its movement shows Newton's second law of motion.

• F. Its movement remains the same unless a force acts upon it.

Answer 1

The statements that best describe the movement of the bowling ball moving down a flat bowling lane at a constant speed are:

• C. Its movement shows Newton's first law of motion.
(An object in motion remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.)

• F. Its movement remains the same unless a force acts upon it.
(This correlates with Newton's first law, emphasizing that the bowling ball will continue its motion unchanged unless a force (like friction or collision) acts on it.)

Thus, the correct options are C and F.
