Newton's first law of motion states that an object will maintain its current state of motion unless acted on by an unbalanced net force. which of the following statements is not a proper application of this law to an object's motion? dave cannot throw a bowling ball as high in the air as a golf ball. when alex slams on the brakes in his car, his body flies forward until stopped by the seatbelt. the air hockey puck struck by brian moves in a straight line until it hits a wall. a rock remains motionless on the ground until jacob kicks it.

It's option A for sure.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
