Question

once a force acts on the bowling ball to cause it to start rolling, what will the ball continue to do if no other force acts on it? it will continue to roll until another force acts on it it will stop anytime it wants

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

This question is about Newton's first law of motion (inertia), which states that an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force. The bowling ball, once set in motion, will continue rolling until another force (like friction or hitting pins) acts on it. The second option is incorrect as objects don't "stop anytime they want" without an external force.

Answer:

A. it will continue to roll until another force acts on it
