According to Newton's First Law, what happens to the motion of an object when the net force acting on it is zero?

• The object remains at rest or continues to move with a constant velocity in a straight line.

• The object changes direction and moves in a curved path.

• The object comes to a stop and remains stationary.

• The object accelerates in the opposite direction of the net force.
