2. the inertia of the

3. the speed of the object
stays the same.
4. a force must have been
applied to the object.
If no forces are acting on an object,
its motion will:
1. continue in the same
direction with the same
speed.
2. slow down and eventually
stop.
3. continue at the same
speed but could change
direction.
4. continue in the same
