The object that is moving at a constant speed will slow down. Its new velocity will be determined by the original constant speed along with the new combined mass of the moving object and the additional "large mass."

What happens if Something is traveling at constant deceleration?

It slows to a rest and then starts moving in the opposite direction at constant acceleration in that direction.


What happens when a fluid at constant pressure is moving to a smaller area?

Force increases.


A truck is moving at constant velocity Inside the storage compartment a rock is dropped from the midpoint of the ceiling and strikes the floor below where?

Directly below where it was dropped (assuming the storage compartment is enclosed, so the air inside is moving with the truck).

What happens when Net force is zero?

F=ma. F=0, a=0. The object is either moving a constant velocity or not moving at all.


What is the difference between speed and acceleration in phisycs?

Speed - is something moving at a constant rate. Acceleration is an increase of the rate an object is moving.


Moving at constant velocity is also moving with constant speed?

Velocity is Speed in a given direction. Moving at constant velocity is equivalent to say moving with a constant speed in a specified direction. So, moving at constant velocity implicitly means moving with constant speed.


What happens when both sides pull with equal force?

When both sides are pulling with equal force, the object is either moving at a constant speed or it is stationary (not moving) :)


What happens to the motion of an object if no net force acts?

If there is no net force, the object will stay at rest if it was at rest, or continue moving - at constant velocity - if it was already moving.


What happens if you start something moving and no force stops it?

It continues to move.


If a car moves at constant speed also moving at constant velocity give an example?

A car moving at constant speed in a straight line is also moving at constant velocity.


When velocity is positive and acceleration is zero what happens to an objects motion?

When acceleration is zero, then the object is moving in a straight line with constant speed. (That's the effective meaning of constant velocity.)
