What would be the path of an object thrown in the air if there was no gravity? A) It would travel horizontally to the Earths surface
B) It would travel in a curved path.
C) It would travel vertically down toward the Earth
D) It would travel in a straight line.

D) in a straight line.

Hey

Newton's first law says that if an object is at rest it will stay at rest. But if it is moving it will continue moving in a straight line if there is no external force. If there where no gravity the object that you throw will keep going in a straight line according to Newton's first law.

What would be the path of an object thrown in the air if there was no gravity?

the answer is D

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
