fiRSt LAW Of MOtiON
False, an object moving in a straight path will begin to slow down due to the force of friction.
Yes. According to Newton's First Law (Inertia), an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless an outside force acts on it.
If no force acts on an object, its speed will remain constant.

false--unless an outside force acts upon it
If there is no net force, the object will stay at rest if it was at rest, or continue moving - at constant velocity - if it was already moving.
No. It takes a force to put something in motion, and it takes force to stop it. To keep it moving requires zero force. If there is no opposing friction force, it will continue moving forever. If you can significantly reduce the friction, a small force can keep an object moving - just enough to counteract the force of friction.No. It takes a force to put something in motion, and it takes force to stop it.

an object will keep moving in a particular direction unless another force acts on the object
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.
It is the force of inertia.
Yes. If no force acts on an object, it will continue moving indefinitely.
false--unless an outside force acts upon it
Force is never needed to keep an object moving unless there is an opposite force trying to slow the object.
A moving object keeps moving, unless you force it to stop. It keeps moving in a straight line, unless you force it to change direction. It keeps moving at a constant speed, unless you force it to speed up or slow down. A stationary object remains stationary, unless you force it to start moving.
A force will cause a moving object to continue moving. It will also cause the object to move farther and faster until friction slows it down.
... continue to do that, until a force is exerted on it.
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.
If there is no net force, the object will stay at rest if it was at rest, or continue moving - at constant velocity - if it was already moving.
An object at rest will stay at rest unless an external resultant force acts on it.Also an object will continue to move at constant velocity unless an external resultant force acts on it.Newton's first Law of Motion states that an object will remain at rest unless an unbalanced force acts upon it. An object that is moving will remain at constant speed in the same direction forever unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.
Newton's First Law doesn't state that an object remains at rest. That's only one option. If no net force acts on an object, it will either remain at rest, or - if it was already moving - continue moving at a constant velocity.Newton's First Law doesn't state that an object remains at rest.

Usually not. To slow a moving object down, some force must act on the moving object. On Earth, this force is usually friction. In outer space, there is no significant amount of friction, so moving objects tend to continue moving, unless they are slowed down by OTHER forces, such as gravity.
