question 4
if there was no gravity acting on the object and it was launched at an upwards angle of 30 degrees, explain its path.
the object would quickly fall
the object would continue to move upwards at the same angle.
the object would move downward at the same angle.
the object would move straight upwards

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

According to Newton's first law of motion, 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 absence of gravity (which is a force that causes objects to accelerate downward), there is no unbalanced force to change the object's velocity (both speed and direction). Since it was launched at an upwards angle of 30 degrees, without gravity (a force that would otherwise cause it to follow a parabolic path in normal projectile - motion scenarios on Earth), its direction (the 30 - degree angle) and speed (assuming no air resistance or other forces, which are not mentioned here) remain constant.

Answer:

The object would continue to move upwards at the same angle.
