Which of the following is an example of Newton's First Law?
a
A stationary book on the table must be picked up in order for it to move
b
A rocket made with lighter composite materials will accelerate faster than a heavier one
c
A baseball hits collides with a fence and they exchange forces
d
Increasing the mass on an object experiencing the same force would decrease the acceleration
Option A: A stationary book on the table must be picked up in order for it to move is NOT an example of Newton's First Law.
Newton's First Law states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
Option A implies that the book cannot move without an external force, which goes against the essence of Newton's First Law.
