true or false: all objects that are already moving at a constant speed in a straight line require that a constant force be applied in their direction of motion to keep them moving.
true
false
According to Newton's first law of motion (inertia), an object in motion with a constant velocity (constant speed in a straight line) will continue in that state unless a net external force acts on it. So, no constant force is needed to keep it moving at constant speed in a straight line. Thus, the statement is false.
