You want to model newtons first law of motion. Which scenario would be the most accurate model?

Pushing a box on a large, flat parking lot

A miniature golf course, where you but the ball over the turf.

Making your way through a muddy obstacle course

an air hockey table on which the punk floats on air.

The most accurate model for Newton's first law of motion would be pushing a box on a large, flat parking lot. In this scenario, the box would experience minimal friction and would require a significant force to overcome inertia and start moving. The other options, such as the miniature golf course, muddy obstacle course, and air hockey table, involve external forces or conditions that may affect the motion of the objects, introducing additional variables that do not solely represent Newton's first law of motion.
