Hi guys When we push an object i.e apply some force on it in complete vaccum, then due to absence of any friction; and inertia, what will happen, will the object accelerate forever because it has no reason to decelerate? Or will it move with constant speed?Why? If the object will move forever...

I was reading this story on CNN about how ESPN is starting to develop and implement 3D programming. http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/01/05/espn.3d/index.html It seems like an obvious step with the 3D movies out. However, besides the fact you'll need to buy a new TV, you will also need those 3D...
