Consider the situation below which of these is the best example of Newton's first law a bird takes a flight from the ground a tennis player throws the tennis ball into the air for a serve in the ball falls to the ground you go down a steep hill and a sled and it feels like your stomach is going up into your throat Tom uses a cane to walk across the road

The best example of Newton's first law is "Tom uses a cane to walk across the road." Newton's first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force. In this case, Tom using a cane to walk across the road is an example of an object (Tom) in motion due to an external force (using the cane) to overcome the force of gravity and other frictional forces.
