Which of the following is the best example of Newton's First Law of Motion?

Jessica's body flies forward after she hits the brakes

If I slowly roll a ball down the hallway, why does it eventually stop?

It wouldn't stop, it would keep going until it hits a wwall.

friction is a force that acts

opposite to the direction of the motion

in the same direction as the motion

the same direction as the applied force

How can you use Newton’s first law to stop your skateboard?

Once the skateboard starts moving, it would keep moving at the same speed and in the same direction if not for another unbalanced force. That force is friction between the skateboard and the pavement. The force of friction is unbalanced because you are no longer pushing with your foot to keep the skateboard moving. That’s why the skateboard stops.

Once the skateboard starts moving, it would keep moving at the same speed and in the same direction if not for another unbalanced force. That force is gravity between the skateboard and the pavement. The force of gravity is unbalanced because you are no longer pushing with your foot to keep the skateboard moving. That’s why the skateboard stops.
