Newton's First Law of Motion
If a very smooth ball is rolled down an inclined surface with zero friction, the ball will continue to roll indefinitely for an infinite time, in an attempt to reach to the same height on the opposite hill!

The correct option.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 6STP

The correct option is A.

Explanation of Solution

Frictional force: It is a resisting force that resist the sliding of the body against any surface or another body.

Acceleration: Acceleration is the ratio of change in velocity of the object to the change in time interval.

Inertia: it is a property of the matter or body by which the body remain in its state of rest or uniform motion until an external force acts on it.

Velocity: velocity is defined as displacement of the object in unit time.

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct option is A.
