Because F=ma, If an object is moving at a constant velocity(speed), then there can be no net force acting on the object. This means that there is a dispersive force i.e Drag or friction acting on the object equal to 2 but in the opposite direction to motion.

Do balanced or unbalanced forces cause a moving object to continue moving at a constant speed?

A balanced force will not cause a moving object to change its constant speed. It's an unbalanced force that would either speed up or slow down the moving object.


If the net force on an object is zero then the object is?

Not accelerating. It could be stationary or moving at a constant speed.


If an object is moving at a constant speed in one direction what is needed to change the speed direction?

To change the speed or direction of an object moving at a constant speed, an external force is required. This force can come from a push, pull, or any other interaction that can accelerate or decelerate the object in a different direction.


Can you use average speed to calculate the speed of an object that is moving at a constant speed?

Yes, average speed can be used to calculate the speed of an object moving at a constant speed. This is because the average speed over a whole journey for an object moving at a constant speed is the same as its actual speed.


The net force on an object moving with constant speed in circular motion is in which direction?

The net force on an object moving with constant speed in circular motion is directed towards the center of the circle. This force is called the centripetal force and is required to keep the object moving in a circular path instead of moving in a straight line.


An example of zero acceleration would be what?

If you are moving at a speed of ceratin speed and there is no force trying to slow you down, and there is no force trying to speed you up. Then there is zero acceleration. An example would be : an object in out in space, if you throw a object away from you the object will float away, since there is no force working on the object after you throw it the object is moving away in a locked speed from you, but have zero acceleration because there is no force affecting 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


Is the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is constant?

determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.


What does the word terminal speed?

Terminal speed refers to the constant speed that an object reaches when the drag force acting on it equals the driving force. This means the object no longer accelerates and continues moving at a constant velocity. It occurs when the drag force and gravitational force are balanced.


When the velocity of a moving object stays the same it has a what speed?

When the velocity of a moving object stays the same, it has a constant speed.


Determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.?

determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.


What does a flat line on a speed vs time graph mean?

it means the object is moving at a constant speed
