a it will slow down eventually
b it will stop
c it will keep moving at the same velocity forever
d its speed or direction will change
c it will keep moving at the same velocity forever
c it will keep moving at the same velocity forever
To determine what will happen to an object in motion if an unbalanced force does not act on it, we need to consider Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the law of inertia. This law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
In this case, if an unbalanced force does not act on the object, it means there is no external force to change its velocity or direction. Therefore, the correct answer would be:
c) It will keep moving at the same velocity forever
