Consider an object moving on a horizontal surface with a constant velocity. Some external force is applied on the object to keep the object moving with a constant velocity. What is the net force acting on the object?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If an object moves with constant velocity, then it has no acceleration. According to Newton.s second law there is no net force acting on the object. The external force is balanced by the kinetic friction.
