Can something be moving at constant speed with a nonzero net force acting on it?

If an object's velocity is constant, then its acceleration is zero.
If acceleration is zero, then the NET external force on the object is zero.
There may be forces acting on it, but they're canceling, so the NET force is zero.

∙ 11y agoit depends on what you're measuring it relative to - if you have an item on Earth, it is moving relative to everything else in the solar system, but it still has gravity and centripetal force working against it
it also depends on the resistance against the item, if you're in a high density medium then the item will come to a halt if the force is below that of the required force to move the item through the medium itself, add into this the resistive surface of the item and there is no definite "yes" or "no" answer...

If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?
An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.
Can an object have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration?
Yes. An object moving at constant velocity has zero acceleration. The constant velocity van be any constant including zero velocity. Mathematics acceleration a=dv/dt = 0. Solving this gives v = constant.
If an object is moving away from you and left alone what happens?
If an object is moving away from you and there are no forces acting on it,then it continues moving in a straight line at constant speed.
Can a body have nonzero average speed but have zero average velocity give example?
An object moving in a circular path at constant speed will have a non-zero average speed and zero average velocity since velocity is a vector parameter,
Forces acting on an object that is not moving are described as this?
It can be said that the net force applied on the object is zero or that the object is in translational equilibrium. Keep in mind that these terms can also be applied if the object is moving at a constant velocity.
What will happen to an object moving at constant velocity?
Such an object is traveling at a constant speed in a straight line. Nothing will happen to it until the forces acting on it become unbalanced, or it runs into something.
Can object have zero acceleration and nonzero velocity at the same time.give example?
Yes, for example, a car moving at constant speed.
If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?
An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.
What is An object moving at a constant speed means it is?
It is in Equilibrium and there are no forces acting on it.
Under what conditions is it possible to have a constant speed yet a nonzero acceleration?
A body can have a constant speed yet a nonzero acceleration when it is in a circular motion because though it is having a constant speed but the direction in which it is moving keeps changing at each instance and since acceleration is a vector quantity,it becomes non-zero.
Objects moving at a constant speed in a straight are said to be in?
Objects moving at constant speed in a straight line are said to be in equilibrium. That is there is no force acting on them. If a force was acting there would be aceleration and the velocity would change.
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
Is it possible for a car moving with a constant velocity to have forces acting on it?
No,because if the car is moving at a constant velocity that means the acceleration is zero. So the net force is zero and there may be some forces acting on it. Only gravity, downward.
If an object is moving at constant velocity what is the sum of all of the forces acting on the object?
zero
Can an object have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration?
Yes. An object moving at constant velocity has zero acceleration. The constant velocity van be any constant including zero velocity. Mathematics acceleration a=dv/dt = 0. Solving this gives v = constant.
What are the condition for an object to stay at rest the moving at constant velocity?
The condition for an object to stay at rest or if moving, moving at a constant velocity is that the sum of forces acting on the object be zero or that no force acts on the object.
What describes an object with constant velocity?
Constant speed, moving in a straight line, zero acceleration, zero net force acting on it.
