An object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by a force.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by a force?

Yes. Multiple physics references and textbooks state Newton's first law: an object in motion continues in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced (net) force. One source states only the at-rest half of the law.
