Question

A bowling ball that is standing on a still table ___

may start to move on it's own and then fall off


will not move unless acted on by another force



will accelerate if left on its own



has too much inertia to move

Answer 1

Will not move unless an outside forc acts on it

Answer 2

Will not move unless acted on by another force

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's first law states that at at rest or in a uniform motion in a straight line, will not change its state unless an external force acts on it. This law is called the law of inertia

Inertia, the tendency of objects to resist motion, is an integral property of all matter.

Objects do not move without an external force because of their inertia, which arises from the gravitational pull from the rest of the universe.

This bowling ball is attracted by the table it is placed on, the earth, the sun, and the rest of the universe. When this is at equilibrium it is these forces are balance.

So we need additional force to disrupt its equilibrium. So the bowling ball will not move unless acted on by another force
