What is Newton's First Law

• F=ma
• Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
• An object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion. 
• Friction 

An object in motion will stay in what kind of motion as long as the net forces acting on it are zero?

• slowing motion in a straight line
• accelerating motion in a straight line
• constant motion in a straight line
• constant motion in an unpredictable direction
