Question

question 2 1 pts a spacecraft that seems to be motionless in deep space is given some type of quick push. which statement describes what will happen? hint: use the images to help you a. the spacecraft will remain still because it only works on earth. b. the spacecraft will remain still due to

Explanation:

According to Newton's first - law of motion (law of inertia), an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force. When the spacecraft in deep - space is given a quick push, it is acted upon by an external force. So, it will start moving and continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed in the absence of other forces (since there is no significant friction or air resistance in deep - space).

Answer:

The spacecraft will start moving and continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed (assuming no other forces act on it). Since the options provided are incomplete, but based on the correct physics principle, the spacecraft will not remain still as there is an external push acting on it.
