question 5 (2 points)
newtons 1st law of motion states that an object will remain at rest or move in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by
a balanced force
an unbalanced force
a frictional force
a centripetal force

Explanation:

Newton's 1st Law of Motion emphasizes that when an object is at rest or moving with constant velocity (in a straight line), the net force acting on it is zero. An unbalanced force would change the object's state of motion (either from rest to motion, from motion to rest, or change its velocity - speed and/or direction). A balanced force means the net force is zero (so no change in motion as per Newton's 1st Law). Frictional force is a type of force that can be part of a balanced or unbalanced force scenario. Centripetal force is related to circular motion (not the general case of Newton's 1st Law which is about straight - line motion or rest).

Answer:

B. an unbalanced force
