Not much, really. If the object's direction is changing, then the velocity changes, and there are forces acting on it. The only thing we can say is that the net force acting on the object is either zero, or it is perpendicular to the movement.If the VELOCITY doesn't change, then the net force (the sum of the forces) is zero.

What is An object moving at a constant speed means it is?

It is in Equilibrium and there are no forces acting on it.


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 be moving at a constant speed if three forces are acting on the object?

Sure, as long as the sum of the forces is zero.


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 are conditions for an object to stay at rest to keep 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.

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


What will happen to an object if the sum of all the forces acting on a moving object is zero?

it will keep movin at a constant speed


What will happen to an object moving at a constant speed if no outside forces act on it?

It's not necessary to specify that the object is moving at a constant speed. Any object with no outside forces acting on it does that. It also continues moving in a straight line.


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 would the net force be on an object moving at constant velocity?

In order for an object to travel with constant velocity the sum of forces acting on it must be zero
