An object at rest on a frictionless surface is subject to no external forces. According to Newton's first law, what is the object's motion after 10 seconds?
AIt accelerates in a random direction.
BIt remains at rest.
CIt gradually slows down.
DIt reverses direction.
Explanation
📌 Newton's first law: an object at rest with no net force remains at rest. The frictionless surface has no forces to change the motion. Distractor A ignores that no force means no acceleration; C is a common misconception that some "innate tendency" would cause slowing (this is Aristotelian, not Newtonian); D introduces motion from nothing, violating conservation.
