Is it possible for an object to be in motion if no net force is acting on it

Absolutely ! 
We never see it happen.  Whenever we see a moving object, if we
don't see any force acting on it to keep it going, it always stops ! 
That's why it's so hard to understand Newton's laws of motion.

The truth is:  It doesn't take ANY force for an object to keep moving,
in a straight line at the same speed.

What DOES take force is if you want to CHANGE the object's motion ...
speed it up, slow it down, or change the direction it's going.

All of those changes are called "acceleration", and you need force
to make any of them happen.

Formula one racers speed up much more quickly than normal passenger vehicles, and they also can stop in a much shorter distance.
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

a = -36.8 m/s/s

Explanation:

Initial speed of the car

v_i = 90 m/s

finally car will stop after it cover the distance

d = 110 m

so we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

here we have

0 - 90^2 = 2(a) (110)

a = \frac{90^2}{220}

a = -36.8 m/s^2

Maurinko [17]

It depends on what skateboard. It will stop mainly because some  skateboards need a hill or curvy platform to function.
