What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object at rest will start moving on its own.
Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object in motion slows down over time.
Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object in motion will change direction spontaneously.
Newton's First Law of Motion states that 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 external force.

Define balanced forces and provide an example.
Balanced forces are forces that are unequal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in an object's motion.
Balanced forces are forces that are equal in size and same in direction, resulting in no change in an object's motion.
Balanced forces are forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in an object's motion. An example of balanced forces is a book resting on a table.
An example of balanced forces is a car accelerating on a highway.
