What type of path does a moving object follow in the absence of a force?

The path of a body not acted on by a force is a path without acceleration, a straight line.
A straight line can be a flat line zero velocity or a slant line constant velocity. It cannot be a curved line, acceleration, changing velocity.

If a net force acts at an angle to the direction an object is moving the object will follow a straight curved unknown or straight forward path?
If a net force acts at an angle to the direction an object is moving, the object will follow a curved path. This is because the force causes both a change in the object's speed and its direction. The object will move in the direction of the net force, but its trajectory will be curved due to the combination of the force and the object's initial velocity.
The energy transferred by a force to a moving object.?
Mechanical energy is transferred by a force to a moving object.
Is it true that to keep an object moving a force must be apllied?
No, it is untrue. No force is required to keep a moving object moving.
What are the different effects of forces on object?
force can change the shape and size of an object force can change the direction of an moving object force can make a stationary object move and make a moving object move faster force can slow down or completely stop a moving object
What does moving object mean?
it means an object is moving based on the force of friction and gravity.

a n1qqa path
How much force does it take to keep an object moving in a straight line at a constant speed?
The absence of any force that affects speed and direction on the certain object. If there are none of these forces to affect the object, then the object will not be affected and will not change.
What is the force that keeps an object in motion?
An object which is moving doesn't need a force to keep it moving.

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.
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.
Why do you have to exert extra force to get a heavy object moving and then have to keep applying force to keep it moving at constant velocity?
the heavier and the bigger the object the more force you need to use to keep it moving . the less weight and the smaller an object is the less force you need to use to keep it moving. it always depends on the weight of the object and the size of the object.
What is the friction that hinders a stationary object from moving on a surface when a force is applied to that object?
Static friction. The frictional force is greater then the force applied, meaning the object can't move.
What determines the change in direction of an object after it collides with another moving object?
the force or other moving object
