A soccer ball is kicked across a flat field. Ignoring air resistance, what will happen to the ball's motion if no other forces act upon it?

A It will gradually slow down and stop
B It will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed
C It will begin to accelerate in the direction it was kicked
D It will change direction and curve

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

According to Newton's First Law of Motion, an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force. Without air resistance or friction, it would continue indefinitely.
