* Constant Velocity: The object will continue moving at a constant velocity. This means it will continue moving in the same direction at the same speed.
* Rest: If the object was already at rest (not moving), it will remain at rest.
Think of it like this:
* Acceleration is the change in velocity. If there's no acceleration, there's no change in velocity.
* Force causes acceleration. If there's no net force, there's no acceleration.
Examples:
* A car coasting on a flat road with no gas pedal pressed: The car will continue moving at a constant speed.
* A book sitting on a table: The book is at rest and will remain at rest because the forces of gravity and the table's support are balanced.
Important Note: It's possible for an object to have a constant velocity (not accelerating) but still be affected by forces. These forces might be balanced, resulting in a net force of zero.
