Question

an object is floating through space. what will happen to it over time if it does not closely approach other objects? (1 point)
it will keep going at the same speed in the same direction.
it will eventually move in a circular pattern.
it will speed up until it reaches terminal velocity.
it will slow down and stop.

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity (same speed and direction) unless acted upon by an external force. In space, far from other objects, there is no significant external force to change its motion.

Answer:

It will keep going at the same speed in the same direction.
