Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
We can answer this question by using Newton's second law:
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
where
F is the net force on an object
m is the mass of the object
a is its acceleration
Here we are considering an object which has no net force on it, so
F = 0
Therefore,
a = 0
which means that its acceleration is zero.
However, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity over time:
[tex]a=\frac{v-u}{t}[/tex]
where v is the final velocity, u the initial velocity, t the time. If a = 0,
[tex]a=0 \rightarrow v = u[/tex]
which means that the velocity of the object is constant. However, constant does not necessarly mean zero: therefore, if the object has no net force acting on it, we can only say that its velocity is constant, but it can be either at rest or moving.
