orce and Motion Unit TestUse the following scenario to answer the question.Taj and Micah chose to go bowling. Taj rolled the ball toward the pins first, knocking them all down.Which of the following is affecting these objects?point)O Gravity is affecting these objects.O An unbalanced force is affecting the objects.O Inertia is affecting these objects.O A balanced force is affecting the objects.

Answer 1

So lets go through all four answer choices.

The easiest to choose is whether gravity is affecting these objects. Assuming that there is some sort of gravity that would pull the pins down, gravity does affect these objects

Second is inertia.

We know that if an object has inertia, it will try to resist moving/coming to rest. In this case, we know that the pins have inertia because the pins fell over, so we know that the pins do have inertia

The last part is whether these objects have an unbalanced or balanced force. If a balanced force did exist, there would need to a force that would equally counteract the force of the bowling ball, which there isn't. Which means there is an unbalanced force affecting these objects.

Given that the user must choose one, the correct answer would be that an unbla
