23. Image a place in space far from all gravitational and frictional influences. Suppose you visited that place and threw a rock What would happen to that rock? It'll continue in motion in the same direction at a constant speed It'll gradually stop There's not enough information to determine

The correct answer is: It'll continue in motion in the same direction at a constant speed.<br /><br />In a place in space far from all gravitational and frictional influences, there is no force acting on the rock to change its motion. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object in motion will continue in motion in the same direction at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force. Since there are no external forces acting on the rock in this scenario, it will continue moving in the same direction at a constant speed.
