Question

question 2 / 10 in which situation would an object remain in motion according to newtons 1st law? a. in water, where it is buoyant. b. in space, where there is no friction. c. on a rough surface with friction. d. on earth, where gravity is present.

Explanation:

Newton's 1st Law states that an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. Friction and gravity are external forces. In space, without friction (a major external - force that slows down motion on Earth), an object will remain in motion. Buoyancy in water and gravity on Earth are forces that can affect an object's motion, and friction on a rough surface will slow down the object.

Answer:

B. In space, where there is no friction.
