Answer:

The correct answer is "The 5 pesos stack coins will remain at its place".

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's first law "every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force". In this case, hitting a single 5 pesos coin at the bottom of the stack does not represent an external force with enough energy to move the stack considerably. Therefore, the 5 pesos stack coins will remain at its place since it tends to remain at rest as any other object.
