A body of 1 quintal moves with a constant velocity of 1000 m/s on a horizontal frictionless path. The force acting on the body is

A

zero

B

`100 xx 1000` N

C

1000 N

D

100 N

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Force = Mass `xx` Acceleration
Acceleration = rate of change of velocity When velocity is constant, acceleration is zero. Force is obviously zero.
