Question

according to newtons first law of motion, what will happen to a car traveling at a constant velocity of 55 mph to the west without an unbalanced force acting upon it? it would start moving in the opposite direction. it would continue moving west with a velocity of 55 mph. it would gradually slow down and stop. it would accelerate to a higher speed.

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion (the law of inertia) states that an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Since there is no unbalanced force acting on the car, it will maintain its current state of motion.

Answer:

It would continue moving west with a velocity of 55 mph.
