The most correct example of Newton's First Law is:

A large bowling ball rolling across a flat surface only begins to slow down once it experiences a force of friction.

This statement illustrates the concept that an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force, which is the essence of Newton's First Law of Motion. The bowling ball continues to roll until friction (an external force) acts on it to slow it down.
