Why do objects in space continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed?

Because there is no air in space, there is no friction to slow said object down.

Objects in space continue to move because there is no?
force in the opposing direction (Newtons first law). There are no gas molecules so no drag or 'wind resistance' to slow the objects down. RESISTANCE
What force keeps an object in free space going a constant speed?
No force is required to keep an object moving at constant speed in a straight line. Force is required only to change its speed or direction.
How are the Distances between different objects in space measured?
they use light-years to determine the space between objects in space
What 2 reasons explain why an object orbits another object?
1) The path of one object orbiting another object is a straight path in a curved space time. 2) The curvature of space time is caused by the mass of the objects.
A rock moves in a straight path in space with a constant speed.is there any force acting on the rock.is there any work done when the rock moves?
There is no force acting and therefore no work done.
Why doesn't the Moon travel in straight line and continue in space?
The normal tendency of objects - when no force acts on them - is to move in a straight line, at a constant speed and direction (that is, a constant velocity). However, when there is a force, an object's velocity may be changed. That's what happens to the Moon, as well as to other objects in some orbit. In this case, the force is provided by gravitational attraction from Earth.
An object is traveling in a straight line in space no forces are acting on the object based on this evidence what will happen to the objects motion?
Nothing will happen to the object's motion, it will continue along its path.
What is an orbit and why do objects stay in them?
Objects in space go around other objects, in elipses. They stay there because of the forc of gravity of the central object. Without it, they would go away, in a straight line.Objects in space go around other objects, in elipses. They stay there because of the forc of gravity of the central object.

Why does pioneer 10 continue to travel further out in to space?
explanation: objects in motion will remain in motion unless acted on by unbalanced forces.

What happens to the density of nearly all objects as they cool down?
Remains constant Although the space it takes up might change
How fast do objects go in free fallouter space?
You can't fall in space, there is no gravity. An object will travel as fast as it is accelerated and continue at that speed forever as there is no air resistence to slow it down.
What would happrn if you did not have any gravity in space?
Everything would move in a straight line at constant speed, until it ran into something else.
How do objects in space move around other objects in space?
gravity
What force keeps an object in free space going a constant speed?
No force is required to keep an object moving at constant speed in a straight line. Force is required only to change its speed or direction.
What are the meaning of straight lines?
Light travels in a straight line. The path of light can be bent by very massive objects because they actually bend space.
When was Objects in Space created?
Objects in Space was created on 2002-12-13.
