Question

The net force acting on a body moving with a constant velocity of 5 m/s is:

• A. 5 N
• B. 2.5 N
• C. zero
• D. can't be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is C

zero

Since the body is moving with a constant velocity, its acceleration is equal to zero.

Now, from the second law of motion, net force = mass $\times$ acceleration = mass $\times$ 0 = 0
