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

Explanation:

• Newton's first law of motion states that an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Since the bowling ball is moving at a constant speed, this law is applicable.

• Statement F reiterates the principle that the bowling ball's motion will remain constant until a force acts on it, which aligns with Newton's first law.

The other options (A, B, D, E) do not accurately describe the situation of the bowling ball moving at a constant speed.
