Why does an object in deep outer space carry on moving at the same steady speed even if there are no forces acting on it?
Because there's nothing to stop it. Newton's 1st law of motion states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and a moving object will continue to move at the same velocity, unless a force acts upon it. A moving car stops when it loses power because of friction between the tires and the road acting upon it, a thrown ball loses forward velocity and gains downward velocity because of gravity acting up on it; nothing stops moving, or moves slower, unless an outside force causes it to do so.

What is an object that continues to move at a constant speed without a force?
An object moving at a constant speed without a force acting on it experiences no acceleration or external influence to change its motion. In the absence of forces like friction or gravity, an object can continue moving at a steady pace indefinitely.
Which of the statements is true A moving object which has no force acting on it keeps a steady speed OR A moving object which has no force acting on it will loose its speed?
The first statement is true. Force implies acceleration on an object. No acceleration means no change in velocity or change in speed. No acceleration means 0=dv/dt thus v=constant. The constant v can be positive, negative or zero. A. According to Newton's laws of motion, an object which has NO forces acting on it will continue to move at constant speed in the same direction forever. This seems wrong. But that's because (in our "normal" experience), just about every object is subjected to the forces of friction and air resistance - so moving objects do slow down...but they have forces acting on them - and your question is about objects with NO forces acting on them. Even objects out in space where there is no friction and air resistance are affected by gravity - so they don't move at a steady speed in a straight line either. The International Space Station orbits the earth because the earth's gravity forces it to move in a circle.
If a car is moving at a steady speed of 50 mph what forces will be acting on it?
When a car is moving at a steady speed of 50 mph, the main forces acting on it are the force of friction between the tires and the road (rolling resistance), air resistance, and the force from the engine propelling the car forward. Additionally, there may be gravitational forces acting on the car depending on the incline or decline of the road.
What makes a rocket reach a steady speed?
When all the forces acting on it are equal, just like any object.
What effect the movement of an object at a steady speed?
When an object is moving at a steady speed, it experiences no acceleration, meaning that the net force acting on it is zero. This means that the object will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force.
How can an object be motionless and in equilibruim?
an object that is not moving can be in equilibrum. an object moving at a steady speed in a straight line can also be equilibrum.
What is it when you add two forces acting on an object?
Two forces acting in the same direction cause the body to speed up (accelerate) if the forces are acting in opposite directions, subtract one from the other. The difference is the net force on the body and will be the direction in which it accelerates. Obviously, if they're the same size and opposite in direction, providing the body is rigid (it doesn't deform, in other words), the stat of motion of the body will stay the same (either at rest or moving at a steady speed in a straight line).
When forces are balanced what type of motion results?
When forces are balanced, the object remains in a state of rest or continues moving at a constant velocity, also known as uniform motion.
When is a body in equilibrium?
A body is refered to be in equilibrium when the forces acting on it cancel each other out, that is, the body has no resultant force. because F=ma , it can also be stated that a body is in equilibrium when there is no acceleration or deceleration in any direction. Therefore, if a body is moving at a steady speed, although it IS moving, it is still at equilibrium. We normally do not think of a moving object as one in equilibrium but that is because in an actual situation, air drag would cause an object to be in equilibrium with 0 velocity.
Forces on steady speed on plane?
When a plane is flying at a steady speed, the forces acting on it are balanced. The main forces involved are thrust (from the engines), drag (air resistance), lift (from the wings), and weight (gravity pulling the plane down). These forces work together to keep the plane moving at a constant speed and altitude.
What describes an object with constant velocity?
Constant speed, moving in a straight line, zero acceleration, zero net force acting on it.
How does unbalanced forces affect both moving and non moving objects?
Unbalanced forces on an object are forces which actually cause its state of rest or steady motion to change. If an object is not accelerating then there are no unbalanced forces acting on it. For example, we have a block on a rough surface. The weight of the body pushes down on the surface and the surface pushes up on the block. These up and down forces are balanced and so the block does not rise up or break through the surface. If you push gently on the block, it doesn't slide because the friction balances out your pushing force. Only when you push harder than the friction force will it start sliding. When the friction cannot balance out your push, the forces are unbalances and the block starts accelerating along.
