Answer 1

The correct example of uniform motion, as used in Newton’s First Law, is:

An air hockey puck slides across a table at constant speed.

This scenario illustrates uniform motion because the puck is maintaining a constant velocity in a straight line, which aligns with the principles of Newton's First Law that states an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
