Question

ron hits his golf ball but is disappointed when it doesnt follow the course to the left. what does newtons first law of motion say about the travel of an object? a every action has an equal and opposite reaction applies. b inertia accelerates due to the unbalanced forces present. c an object at rest will move when external force is applied. d it will travel in a straight path unless changed by an external force.

Explanation:

Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity (in a straight - line path) and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force. Option A is Newton's Third Law. Option B is related to Newton's Second Law. Option C is an incomplete statement of Newton's First Law. Option D correctly states Newton's First Law in the context of an object in motion.

Answer:

D. It will travel in a straight path unless changed by an external force.
