Which of the following is the most correct example of Newton's First Law? (1 point)

Question

Two vehicles collide and their forces of collision act upon each other

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

When a baseball hits a bat, there is a change in the momentum of the baseball that is equal to the change
of momentum of the bat

When calculating the acceleration of a rocket undergoing the force of a new rocket engine, you must know
the mass of the rocket

Answer 1

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.
