Driving along a road at a constant velocity of 100km h-1.the forces opposing the motion of the car total 800N. cars mass is 1200kg.what force do you need to maintain constant velocity?

It doesn't matter what the car's mass is, or for that matter, what speed you're talking about.
If the total forces opposing its motion are 800 N, then you need to supply 800 N in the direction
of motion in order to maintain a constant speed.

Can object at constant speed can maintain constant velocity?
It can, but it won't always. In other words, if the speed is constant, the velocity may, or may not, be constant as well.
Is the vertical velocity of a projectile constant?
Never, since "vertical" means directly opposing the local gravity field.
What is the force required to maintain an object at a constant velocity in free space equal to?
Newton's 1st Law of Motion states that an object will maintain its speed when there is no net force acting on it. The question refers to free space and constant velocity -- the net force has to be zero. =========================
Why does the frequency of a wave decrease while the wavelegth increases?
Multiplication of wavelength and frequency is equal to velocity of the wave.It is a constant in a medium.So wavelength and frequency is indirectly propotinal.One should increase if other decrease to maintain the constant velocity.
What is the velocity in which the body covers equal displacements in equal intervals of ttime?
In that case, the velocity is said to be constant.
Can object at constant speed can maintain constant velocity?
It can, but it won't always. In other words, if the speed is constant, the velocity may, or may not, be constant as well.
Why achanging velocity cannot maintaining constant speed?
A changing velocity can maintain constant speed if the motion is circular. The constant change in direction is a change in velocity, even if the speed is constant.
What is the different between constant velocity and constant speed?
constant velocity is when you maintain speed and direction, this usually is in a straight line, and constant speed means that your speed is always constant at all times.
Is the vertical velocity of a projectile constant?
Never, since "vertical" means directly opposing the local gravity field.

How does exerting force keep an object moving at constant velocity?
If it wasn't for forces acting opposing to the direction of motion, an object would continue to move in a given direction at constant speed (constant velocity) indefinitely without the need of a force exerting on it.<br><br>However due to "real world" forces such as friction or air resistance, a force equal and opposite to these opposing forces needs to be applied to an object to keep it moving at constant velocity.<br><br>These are all governed by Newton's Laws of Motion.<br>
What maintains the speed of earth as it orbits around the sun?
As we know that Kepler's laws of planetary motion state that aerial velocity of a planet remains constant i.e dA/dt = constant , Where A is the area swept by the planet around sun. so to maintain the aerial velocity constant,planet has variable velocity.
How To maintain homeostasis?
This is a very broad question since there are many different types of homeostasis. It is possible to maintain a constant temperature, or a constant location, or a constant pH, or a constant velocity, or a constant luminosity, etc. etc. Without knowing what parameter you are concerned about, there is no point in describing a method of obtaining homeostasis.
Why does the frequency of a wave decrease while the wavelegth increases?
Multiplication of wavelength and frequency is equal to velocity of the wave.It is a constant in a medium.So wavelength and frequency is indirectly propotinal.One should increase if other decrease to maintain the constant velocity.
Can constant velocity be zero?
Yes. Zero velocity is a velocity; if it is always zero then it is a constant velocity.
What is the velocity in which the body covers equal displacements in equal intervals of ttime?
In that case, the velocity is said to be constant.
What is your acceleration if you have a constant velocity?
If your velocity is constant, then your acceleration is zero.
