Question

Why is it that a football does not stay in motion at a constant speed when thrown, as the First Law of Motion suggests that it would?

1) Air resistance and acceleration

2) Gravity and mass

3) Distance, mass and gravity

4) Air resistance and gravity

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option 1. A football does not  stay in motion at a constant speed when thrown because as the First Law of Motion suggests there would be air resistance and acceleration that will tend to stop the ball.
