Because F=ma, If an object is moving at a constant velocity(speed), then there can be no net force acting on the object. This means that there is a dispersive force i.e Drag or friction acting on the object equal to 2 but in the opposite direction to motion.

How can an object accelerate if it is moving at a constant speed?
by adding more force
What force keeps an object in free space going a constant speed?
No force is required to keep an object moving at constant speed in a straight line. Force is required only to change its speed or direction.
If the net force on an object is zero then the object is?
Not accelerating. It could be stationary or moving at a constant speed.
Why an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is undergoing acceleration and has a force excert on it?
-- An object with no net force on it continues moving at constant speed in a straight line.If it's not moving in a straight line, then there must be net force acting on it.-- "Acceleration" is the word for the situation where either speed or direction of motion changes.Even if speed is constant, acceleration is present if the direction is changing.
If an object is moving at a constant speed in one direction what is needed to change its speed or direction?
An unbalanced force
Can you use average speed to calculate the speed of an object that is moving at a constant speed?
Yes. If an object is moving at a constant speed the average speed and the constant speed are the same.
Does an object moving in a constant speed in a straight line have any forces acting on it?
It will have zero force BUT, it WILL have a constant velocity
An example of zero acceleration would be what?
If you are moving at a speed of ceratin speed and there is no force trying to slow you down, and there is no force trying to speed you up. Then there is zero acceleration. An example would be : an object in out in space, if you throw a object away from you the object will float away, since there is no force working on the object after you throw it the object is moving away in a locked speed from you, but have zero acceleration because there is no force affecting the object
Is the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is constant?
determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.
Determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.?
determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.
What does a flat line on a speed vs time graph mean?
it means the object is moving at a constant speed
What is the upward force on a moving object with a lift at a rate of 17m per s?
If the object is moving at a constant speed, the net force on it is 0. So the upward force would have to be equal to the downward force (namely the weight of the object).
