How is am object moving at a constant speed and in a straight line like an object at rest?

An object moving at a constant speed in a straight line has an acceleration of 0. An object at rest also has an acceleration of 0. So, the two things I see in common are their accelerations, which are both 0.


Does a straight line on a distance versus time grph indicate that an object is at rest?

No. It means that the object is going at a constant speed.


What line on a distance-versus-time graph means that the object is at rest?

What is the property that keeps matter at rest or moving in a straight line?

It is called "inertia", but we still don't really know what it is.


What is the first law of mation?

The law of Inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force.


Which of newton's three laws is for a body at rest?

What is the tendency of moving object to continue moving in a straight line?

An object at rest will tend to stay at rest and an object in motion will tend to stay in motion until an exterbal force acts on it is called INERTIA.


Does a balanced force keeps an object at rest?

Yes, balanced forces will keep an object at rest.
