An object is moving at a constant velocity. What can you conclude about the object?

Question

A
The net force on it is zero.

B
There is some force acting on it.

C
It also has constant acceleration.

D
Any given force acting on it is not changing.

Answer 1

The correct conclusion is:

A. The net force on it is zero.

Explanation: If an object is moving at a constant velocity, it means that its speed and direction are not changing. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force. Therefore, the net force acting on the object must be zero.
