Question

1. newtons first law of motion states that an objects motion remains the same unless a force acts upon it. what would be an example of this law in action? answer:

Explanation:

Newton's first - law implies inertia. A book resting on a table remains at rest until a force (like someone picking it up) acts on it. Another example is a moving car. If the driver takes their foot off the gas and there is no external force (like friction and air - resistance), the car would keep moving at a constant velocity. We can consider a hockey puck sliding on ice. Once it is set in motion, it will continue to slide in a straight line at a nearly constant speed because there is very little frictional force acting on it.

Answer:

A hockey puck sliding on ice continues to move in a straight - line at a nearly constant speed until friction or another force stops it.
