Question

if there are no unbalanced forces acting on a moving object, what will happen to it?
a it will continue in the same direction with the same speed
b it will continue with the same speed, but its direction may change.
c it will continue in the same direction, but its speed will increase.
d it will continue in the same direction, but its speed will decrease.

Explanation:

According to Newton's first - law of motion, an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity (same speed and same direction) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Since there are no unbalanced forces here, the object's speed and direction remain unchanged.

Answer:

A. It will continue in the same direction with the same speed
