What force would be required to pull a 10.0 kg wooden block at a constant velocity on Jupiter?

Moving at constant velocity doesn't require any force, regardless of the object's mass or where it is.


What is velocity if the net force is 0?

If the net force on an object is zero, then velocity of the object is constant ... it moves in a straight line at a constant speed.


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 areal velocity is constant in central force?

If the force is constant then this will make the velocity of the object spinning constant as well, and for the velocity to be constant all the forces must be balanced and therefore constant


If the net force acting on an object is 0 can you conclude that the object is at rest Why or why not?

Brief form of discussion: Definitely!Verbose form:Net force is required to change speed or direction of an object's motion.No net force is required to keep it moving in a straight line at a constantspeed.


What is the acceleration of of an object that moves at a constant velocity and it net force?

The acceleration of an object with constant velocity is zero. It's force will be Mv^2 where M is it's mass and v is it's velocity.


If we are told that an object has a constant velocity what can we say about the force on that object?

you can say that there is no net force on the object; that is, the net force is zero


Can a object falling from a height be in equilibrium in mid air?

Yes. An object is in equilibrium if the velocity is constant. A constant velocity can occur if the forces balance on the object. Consider that the gravitational force is balanced by the "air resistance force", then there is no net force and thus no acceleration. Then the velocity at which this occurs will be a constant and thus the body will be in equilibrium.


If an object has no net force acting on it?

it is in equilibrium.


Why an object will move if its velocity is constant?

Momentum. If an object has constant velocity, the object will move because it has momentum. Momentum tends to stay the same unless changed by a force.


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 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.
