question 3 of 10
a car skids on a wet highway. according to newtons first law, why does the car eventually slow down?
a. the car has no acceleration.
b. there are no forces acting on the car.
c. the car has no inertia.
d. forces act on the car.

Explanation:

Newton's first law states that an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. When a car skids on a wet highway and slows down, it is because external forces such as friction between the tires and the road surface, air - resistance, etc., act on the car to change its motion.

Answer:

D. Forces act on the car.
