Nora, Abigail, and Noah are discussing Newton's First law during their physics class. Nora says a soccer ball rolling on a field will continue to move forward (unbalanced), and a soccer ball at rest will stay stationary (balanced) unless an external force acts on it. Abigail, on the other hand, argues that a stationary soccer ball will start moving (unbalanced), and a rolling soccer ball will come to a halt (balanced) unless an external force acts on it. According to Newton's First law, who is correct?
Nora: Unbalanced ( a soccer ball rolling on a field will continue to move forward ) , Balanced ( a soccer ball at rest will stay stationary ) unless an external force acts on it
Abigail: Unbalanced ( a stationary soccer ball will start moving ) , Balanced ( a rolling soccer ball will come to a halt ) unless an external force acts on it
