Question

  1. draw conclusions: newtons first law states that an object in motion will travel at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. how do these experiments show this?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Newton's first - law is about inertia. In experiments, if no unbalanced force acts on a moving object, it moves with constant velocity. Analyze the experiments to see if objects move with constant velocity when no unbalanced forces are present, like in friction - less or balanced - force scenarios.

Answer:

Without knowing the specific experiments, in general, if in an experiment an object moves with a steady speed in a straight line when no external unbalanced forces (such as friction, additional pushes or pulls) are acting on it, it demonstrates Newton's first law. For example, on a very smooth surface (minimal friction), a rolling ball will continue to roll at a nearly constant speed until a force like air resistance or a small bump stops or changes its motion.
