Answer:

velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, a moving object's velocity remains constant if there were no forces acting on it. If no external, unbalanced force acts on it:


F_(ext) = m a = 0\\ \Rightarrow a = 0 \\ \Rightarrow  (dv)/(dt) = 0 \\ \Rightarrow v = constant
