An object of mass 5kg is moving with a constant velocity 4m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface. What is the force needed to keep it moving?

Solution

Dear student No force is required to keep it moving. As given velocity should not be change which means there is no acceleration. According to newtons second law of motion F = ma. If acceleration a is zero, then it means force F = 0. Regards
