Question

Newton's first law states that an object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Which of the following shows an example of this?

A) Two cars drive in opposite directions.

B) A boy rides his bicycle up a steep hill.

C) A car drives down the road at a rate of 70 kilometers per hour.

D) A parked car stays in the same place for two days.

EMERGENCY!! PLEASE HELP.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct example that demonstrates Newton's first law is:

D) A parked car stays in the same place for two days.

According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest (in this case, the parked car) will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. In this scenario, the parked car does not experience any unbalanced force, so it stays in the same place for two days.
