A bowling ball is moving down a flat bowling lane at a constant speed. Which statements best describe the movement of this bowling ball? Select all that apply.A. Its movement is caused by unbalanced forces.B. Its movement changes without a force acting upon it.C. Its movement shows Newton's first law of motion.D. Its movement shows Newton's third law of motion.
C. Its movement shows Newton's first law of motion.
D. Its movement shows Newton's third law of motion.
u sure
I apologize for the confusion. Let me clarify:
C. Its movement shows Newton's first law of motion.
The bowling ball is moving at a constant speed, indicating that there is no net force acting on it. This is in line with Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object will continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.
So, the correct answer is:
C. Its movement shows Newton's first law of motion.
nd wat else
A. Its movement is caused by unbalanced forces.
This statement is not applicable in this scenario. If the bowling ball is moving at a constant speed, it means that the forces acting on it are balanced, not unbalanced. Unbalanced forces would cause a change in the ball's motion.
B. Its movement changes without a force acting upon it.
This statement is also not applicable in this scenario. If the bowling ball is moving at a constant speed, it means that no external force is acting on it to change its motion. Inertia (Newton's first law) keeps it moving at that speed.
Therefore, the only statement that applies is:
C. Its movement shows Newton's first law of motion.
