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 stop anytime it wants it will continue to roll until another force acts on it

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

According to Newton's first law of motion (the law of inertia), an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. In the case of the bowling ball, once it is set in motion by a force (the push when it is released), if no other force (like friction, air resistance, or a collision with another object) acts on it, it will continue its state of motion. The option "it will continue to roll until another force acts on it" aligns with this principle. The option "it will stop anytime it wants" is incorrect as objects don't have the "will" to stop on their own; forces are required to change their motion.

Answer:

it will continue to roll until another force acts on it
