Question
a moving object is in equilibrium. which best describes the motion of the object if no forces change? it will maintain its state of motion. it will change directions. it will speed up and then slow down. it will slow down and stop.
According to Newton's first law of motion (the law of inertia), an object in equilibrium (net force is zero) will maintain its state of motion (constant velocity, including speed and direction) if no external forces change. So the object will keep moving as it is.
