Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Force is defined as the rate of change of momentum With respect to the time of any moving object.
Numerically,

F = m \times \frac{dv}{dt}

Where F denotes force of an object having mass m moving with velocity

v

.
So if the object is moving with a constant velocity then it changes position with respect to time i.e. displacement in the position of the object. Constant velocity means

\frac{dv}{dt} = 0

So,

F = 0

.
Therefore without any force the body is displaced..
