    Galileo deduced that in the absence of any force, an object on an inclined plane will continue to move indefinitely in a straight line with constant velocity. He discovered that objects accelerate uniformly down an incline due to gravity and that, without friction or other forces, the motion would persist uninterrupted. This principle laid the foundation for Newton’s first law of motion.

  2. If the unbalanced force is removed completely, an object in motion will continue to move in a straight line at a constant velocity. This is due to inertia, as described by Newton's first law of motion.

  3. An unbalanced force causes a change in the motion of an object, resulting in acceleration. This change can alter the object's speed, direction, or both, according to Newton's second law of motion.

  4. An object moves with uniform velocity when no net external force acts on it. In this state, the forces are balanced, resulting in no acceleration, and the object continues to move in a straight line at a constant speed.

  5. A common misconception is that an object will stop moving if no unbalanced force acts on it. In reality, it will continue moving with a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
