An astronaut throws a rock. the rock travels through outer space at a constant velocity. which statement applies to the motion of this rock? a- an unbalanced force is acting on the rock, causing it to accelerate. b-the rock will undergo constant acceleration until a force acts on it. c- the rock will continue on its current path until an unbalanced force acts on it. d- the force that makes the rock move through space is equal to its mass divided by its velocity

This is an example of Newton's first law of motion:

An object at rest will remain at rest unless an unbalanced force acts upon it. Similarly, a moving object will remain moving in a straight line at constant velocity unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.

The answer is C.

does anyone know or what?

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
