Can an object continue to move if there is no force on it in the direction in which its moving?
Yes. If no force acts on an object, it will continue moving indefinitely.
Tendency for a stationary object to remain at rest or for a moving object to continue moving?

Why is it when you stub your toe you fall forward?
This can be explained with Newton's First Law of motion, Inertia. An object in motion tends to stay in motion until a force acts on it. When you are walking, your entire body is moving forward. But if your toe hits an object, only it will stop. So the rest of your body will continue moving forward until you stop yourself. (hopefully before you hit the ground)
What is the tendency called of a moving object to continue moving in a straight line or a stationary object to remain in place?
Inertia
What effect do forces have on a moving object?
Balanced forces will not change the velocity - speed and direction - of a moving object. the object will continue to move in the same way.
What opposes the motion of one object moving past another?
Friction opposes the motion of one object moving past another. Objects at rest remain at rest and objects traveling at a steady rate in a straight line continue that way until a force acts on them.
What is the tendency of a moving object to continue moving in a straight line or a stationary object to remain in a place called?
inertia
What is another word for Newton's first law?
Newton's First Law states that an object that is moving has the tendency to continue moving at the same speed; if it is at rest, the tendency is for the object to remain at rest. This law is also known as the law of inertia.
What determines the change in direction of an object after it collides with another moving object?
the force or other moving object
Do balanced or unbalanced forces cause a moving object to continue moving at a constant speed?
unbalanced
What happen if an object is acted upon by balanced forces?
In this case, it is as if no force acted on the object. The object won't acceleration; if it is resting, it will continue resting, and if it is moving, it will continue moving at the same velocity.
An object moving at a constant velocity will?
... continue to do that, until a force is exerted on it.
