Question

which statement describes what a satellite traveling in a straight line at a constant velocity in space will do?
it will continue to move in the same path at the same velocity unless acted on by another force.
it will come to a stop on its own.
it will change the direction of its path without being acted on by another force.
it will increase its velocity on its own if left alone.

Explanation:

According to Newton's first - law of motion (law of inertia), an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. A satellite traveling in a straight line at a constant velocity in space is an example of this.

Answer:

It will continue to move in the same path at the same velocity unless acted on by another force.
