An object will move at a constant speed in a straight line until?
Acted on by a force.
Is it correct to assume a motion of constant speed?
It depends on your setting. If the net force on an object is zero than the object will move with a constant speed. It will also move with a constant speed (but not velocity!) if a force forces the object to move in a circular motion.
What is an object that continues to move at a constant speed without a force?
Accelaration
What is the average speed of an object moving constant in a circle?
An object can move in a circle at different speeds.
What is constant speed?
Constant speed is movement at a fixed (constant) distance per unit of time. The same amount of distance is covered by the object in the same amount of time at each measurement of that same interval. An example of an object moving at a constant speed might be an object in orbit. Something up their above the drag of the atmosphere will move at a constant speed, and will continuously move around the earth at the same speed. Note that velocity is speed with a direction vector. An object in orbit will have a constant speed, but its velocity will be constantly changing because it is constantly changing the direction it is moving.

What is the name for an object that will remain at rest or move at a constant speed unless acted on?
A mass
What is an object that continoues to move when an unbalenced force is removed?
Any moving object continues to move, in a straight line and at constant speed,when all forces are removed from it.
What will happen to an object moving at a constant speed if no outside forces act on it?
It's not necessary to specify that the object is moving at a constant speed. Any object with no outside forces acting on it does that. It also continues moving in a straight line.
When an object covers an equal amount of distance in the same amount of time is called?
In that case, the object is said to move at constant speed.
What are the conditions of an object to stay at rest to keep on moving at constant velocity or to move with increasing velocity?
If the sum of all forces on an object is zero, then the object remains in constant velocity. Constant velocity means motion in a straight line at a constant speed. "Rest" is just constant velocity with a speed of zero. If the sum of all forces on an object is NOT zero, then the object's velocity must change. The change may consist of speeding up, slowing down, or turning in a different direction. If the sum of the forces is in the same direction as the object's motion, then the object must speed up.
Can an object with non zero force move at constant speed in straight line?
No. If the sum of all the forces on the object is not zero, then the object's acceleration is not zero, meaning that either its speed or direction of motion, or both, are changing.
