    If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,

    then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of

    these things to happen.

    Once in a while, there may be a group of forces (two or more) acting on

    an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced". When

    that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed

    is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line. In that case, it's not

    possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it.
