Question

Which statements describe an object in motion that has no external force acting on it? Check all that apply.

It accelerates and speeds up.
It moves at a constant speed.
It decelerates and slows down.
It changes direction.
It moves in the same direction.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Correct choices:
- It moves at a constant speed.
- It moves in the same direction.

Reason: With no external (net) force, acceleration is zero (Newton's first law), so the velocity is constant — both magnitude (speed) and direction stay the same. The other statements imply a change in velocity, which requires a net force.
