Question

Gina is driving her car down the street. She has a teddy bear sitting on the back seat. A dog runs in front of Gina's car, so she quickly applies the brakes. The force of the brakes causes the car to stop, but the teddy bear continues to move forward until it hits the car's dashboard. The teddy bear did not stop at the same time as the car because A. objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. B. only objects touching the Earth's surface can be acted upon by an outside force. C. more force is required to stop softer objects than to stop harder objects. D. objects in motion can only be stopped by the application of a balanced force.

Answer 1

The answer is A) objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's laws of motion are three laws that describe the relationship between forces acting on an object and the motion of that object. Newton's first law of motion states that an object that is at rest or in uniform motion tends to stay at rest or in uniform motion, respectively, until acted upon by an outside force.

Answer 2

object in motion tends to be in motion unless acted upon by an external force
