Answer:
The statement will be false.
Explanation:
Newton's First Law, also called the Law of inertia, indicates that "Every body perseveres in its state of rest or uniform rectilinear motion unless it is forced to change its state by forces printed on it." This means that for a body to leave its state of rest or uniform rectilinear motion, it is necessary for a force to act on it. This is why Newton's first law is known as the Law of Inertia, because inertia is the resistance that an object has to a change in its state of motion.
On the other hand, it is said that the forces are balanced when the net force on the object is zero (that is, the result of the sum of all the forces is zero) and the forces are not balanced when the net force is nonzero (that is, the result of the sum of all forces is not zero).
In Newton's first Law, the forces are balanced while persevering in their state of rest or uniform rectilinear motion. When a force acts on a body, an imbalance occurs as the body leaves its state of rest or uniform rectilinear motion.
Then the statement will be false. When the forces are balanced the body will remain in its state of rest or uniform rectilinear motion. That is to say that once the object hits the water it will continue moving in the velocity at which it moved when it hit the water (uniform rectilinear motion) until a force acts on it and forces it to change its state.
