According to Newton’s first law of motion, a moving object that is not acted on by an unbalanced force will

• remain in motion.
• eventually come to a stop.
• change its momentum.
• accelerate.

Acceleration is caused by a force acting on a mass.

• Newton’s first law of motion
• Newton’s second law of motion
• Newton’s third law of motion
