Here are the answers to your questions based on Newton's First Law of Motion:

  1. According to Newton's First law, what happens to a resting object if no external force is acting upon it?

    • It remains at rest

  2. Which of the following choices is correct about the information shown on the graph below?

    • (Unfortunately, I can't see the graph, but I can provide general guidance: If the graph shows a decrease in speed followed by an increase, then the first answer might be applicable, and so forth.)

  3. How does Newton's First law explain the motion of an object in the absence of external forces?

    • The object always moves at a constant velocity (if it was already in motion) or The object always remains at rest (if it was initially at rest).

  4. Which direction will the box move in the diagram below?

    • (Again, I can't see the diagram, but typically, this would depend on the indicators in the diagram such as arrows showing applied forces.)

  5. What is the net force acting on the object below?

    • (Without seeing the image, I'm unable to provide a specific answer. The net force can be determined based on the sum of all the forces acting upon the object as indicated in the image.)

Feel free to provide more details or clarify any of the questions with descriptions, and I'll do my best to assist further!
