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

friction is a force that acts 

• in the same direction as the motion
• opposite to the direction of the motion
• opposite to the applied forces
• the same direction as the applied force

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 

After a cannonball is fired into frictionless space, the amount of force needed to keep it going equals

• twice the force with which it was fired
• the same amount of force with which it was fired
• 1/2 the force with which it was fired
• zero, since no force is requires to keep it moving.

What is inertia?

• the force that opposes motion
• the force of attraction between 2 objects
• an object's tendency to stay in motion or to stay at rest
• a change in an object's speed and/or direction

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

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