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.

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 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.


What describes an object with constant velocity?

Constant speed, moving in a straight line, zero acceleration, zero net force acting on it.


What is the name for a steady speed?

The term for a steady speed is constant velocity, which means an object is moving at a consistent rate without changing its direction.


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 instantaneous speed does not change an object is moving a?

If an object's instantaneous speed is constant, then the object is moving at a constant speed without accelerating or decelerating. This means that the object is traveling at a steady rate without any changes in its velocity.


If an object has a constant velocity then it?

If an object has a constant velocity, it means it is moving in a straight line at a steady speed without changing direction.


What makes a rocket reach a steady speed?

When all the forces acting on it are equal, just like any object.


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 is steady velocity?

Steady velocity refers to a constant and unchanging speed and direction of an object's motion over time. It means that the object is moving at a consistent rate without any acceleration or deceleration.


What is a way to balance steady?

Look at any thing still or stare at a not moving object like door or chair etc.
