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.

Does a moving object tends to continue moving in a straight line unless something puches or pulls it out of its path True or false?

false--unless an outside force acts upon it


What happens to the motion of an object if no net force acts?

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.


Does it take the same amount of force to start something as it does to keep it 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.

What is first low of motion?

an object will keep moving in a particular direction unless another force acts on the object


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.

What is the force that says that an object that is moving forward will continue to move forward unless another force stops it?

It is the force of inertia.


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.

false--unless an outside force acts upon it


Is force always neede to keep an object moving?

Force is never needed to keep an object moving unless there is an opposite force trying to slow the object.


Brief meaning of the law of inertia?

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 can make moving objects?

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.


An object moving at a constant velocity will?

... continue to do that, until a force is exerted on it.


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.


What happens to the motion of an object if no net force acts?

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.


What is Newton laws first motions?

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.


Newtons first law of motion states that an object remains at rest unless?

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.

Do things slow down as quickly in outer space as it does on Earth?

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.
