An object of mass moves with a constant velocity of . What is the net force in Newtons acting on the object?
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: A —
Solution
- The velocity of the object is constant.
- Constant velocity implies zero acceleration, .
- By Newton's second law, .
- Hence the answer is (A).
