Why do you have to exert extra force to get a heavy object moving and then have to keep applying force to keep it moving at constant velocity?

the heavier and the bigger the object the more force you need to use to keep it moving . the less weight and the smaller an object is the less force you need to use
to keep it moving. it always depends on the weight of the object and the size of the object.

What are diifferent word for object?
a "body" "moving body" an "object" is moving with constant velocity. [OR] a "body" is moving with constant velocity.
Which has zero acceleration an object at rest or moving at constant velocity?
An object at rest has a constant velocity of zero. Both the object at rest and the object moving at constant velocity have zero acceleration.
What is the net force on an object moving at a constant velocity?
The net force on an object moving at a constant velocity is zero.
If an object is moving at constant velocity what happens to the net force?
If the object is moving at constant velocity, that's an indication that the net force on it is zero.
How do you know if the forces on an object are balanced?
When the object is not moving or when the object is moving at a constant velocity.
Can an object have a constant speed and velocity at the same time?
Yes. An object moving in a straight line at constant speed has constant velocity.
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.
When can an object a constant speed but not a constant velocity?
Consider an object turning in a circle at a constant speed. Because velocity is not just the value of speed, but also the direction in which the object is moving, the velocity would not be constant.
What do baoanced forces do to moving objects?
When all forces are balanced, the object can either be moving at a constant velocity or be at rest. But because you asked for balanced forces on a moving object, it is moving at a constant velocity.
What is difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?
If there is acceleration (uniform or otherwise, but non-zero acceleration), the velocity changes. Constant velocity means that the velocity does not change.
If an object is moving at unifrom acceleration what is its velocity?
Its velocity is increasing or decreasing (its velocity is not constant).
Is the velocity of a horizontal moving object constant?
Only if the direction is constant and the speed is constant.
Can an object be moving at a constant speed and acceleration?
When the acceleration is at constant 0, then the velocity will be constant.
Is the net force zero if the object is not moving?
either not moving or moving with a constant velocity
If an object is moving with constant velocity what do you know about it's acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
For an object to be moving at a constant velocity is it necessary for it to be moving in a straight line?
Velocity is a vector quantity in which both magnitude and direction must be taken into consideration. For an object to have constant velocity, it is necessary that both the magnitude and the direction of the velocity must be constant. Even if either magnitude or direction is variable, velocity will not remain constant. On the other hand, speed remains constant if direction is changed and magnitude is kept constant, as speed is a scalar quantity.For an object to have constant velocity, it is necessary that the object move at a constant speed and not change course. That object must move in a straight line to have a constant velocity.
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
What is an example of an object moving at constant speed and constant velocity?
Photon or rather light
When an object moves with constant velocity does its average velocity during a time interval differ from its instantaneous velocity at any instant?
No. If it its moving at constant velocity, its instantaneous velocity would be the same as its constant velocity.
Does an object moving at constant velocity have zero acceleration?
yes the acceleration is at zero because there is no change in acceleration if the velocity is constant
How does an unbalanced force affect a moving object at a constant velocity?
If the group of forces on an object is unbalanced, then the object can't have constant velocity. Its speed or the direction of its motion must change.
