Question

a spacecraft seems to be motionless in space. which statement best describes what will happen to the spacecraft if it is left alone? the spacecraft will slowly begin to drift forward. the spacecraft will build up energy and eventually move. the spacecraft will remain motionless. the spacecraft will slowly fall from space.

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Since the spacecraft is motionless and no external forces are acting on it if left alone, it will remain motionless.

Answer:

The spacecraft will remain motionless.
