What is the magnitude of force acting on a body moving with constant velocity?

Certainly not. An object has momentum on account of its motion, which depends on
its mass and its velocity. Force may be involved in the object's motion, but doesn't
need to be.
If we let the discussion become somewhat flabby, we can imagine a constant force
applied to an object, and asked what happens to the object's momentum.
An object with a constant force acting on it exhibits constant acceleration in
the direction of the force. In that situation, the object's speed, and therefore
its momentum, are proportional to the time the force continues to act on it.

∙ 12y agoIt isn't possible to answer this question. All one can say is that there are either zero forces, or two or more forces which cancel each other out, i.e., the net force is zero.

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 a constant speed and the varying velocity at the same time explain?
Velocity is a vector. A vector has a magnitude and a direction. The scalar or magnitude portion of velocity is speed. Velocity is a constant only when both the speed and direction are not varying. Hence, when the speed is changing, the velocity cannot be a constant.
What is the magnitude of net force acting on a drop of rain falling down with a constant speed?
consider a sphere moving through a viscous medium the fluid layer in contact with the sphere is moving with same velocity but the layer far away is at rest. This makes a relative motion to be setup.viscous force acts on this drop.The backward force is proportional to the speed of the drop.at a stage the viscous force balances the downward force.hence the body moves with a constant velocity called terminal velocity.
What is difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?
A motion with a constant speed will always be moving the same speed A motion with a constant acceleration will constantly be gaining speed, and does not remain moving at the same speed.
Why is an object in equilibrium during constant motion?
When an object is in equilibrium, the acceleration is zero. When the acceleration is zero, the velocity does not change; the non changing velocity includes the case when the velocity has value zero.
If a car drove a around in a circle would that be constant velocity?
No. Velocity is a 'vector', which means it's a measurement that has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude is what we usually call the 'speed'. For an object moving in a circle, it could have constant speed ... the velocity could have constant magnitude ... but there's no way the whole velocity vector could be constant, because the direction is always changing. Constant velocity is very easy to recognize ... the object is moving at a steady speed, in a straight line.
What is the net force on an object with constant velocity?
If the object is moving in a straight line, then the net force on it is zero. If the object is not moving in a straight path, then there is some non-zero net force acting on it even if its speed is constant. We don't have enough information to describe the magnitude or direction of the force.
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.
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.
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 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
If an object is moving at constant velocity what is the sum of all of the forces acting on the object?
zero
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 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.
What are the condition 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.
What are the 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.
If an object has zero acceleration what two things could be true about its velocity?
The velocity does not change direction or magnitude. The object 1) may not be moving, or it 2) may be moving at a constant velocity. In the case of the latter, that means it's moving in the same direction and at a constant speed.
