When you say 'moving to the left' I presume you mean with a degree of left turn of the steering wheel rather than the car has turned into a left hand direction and is now moving straight ahead in the new direction.

In which case, yes, there is force acting on it. Newton's first law dictates that there must be, otherwise it would not continue to change direction. The force comes from the ground which pushes against the tyres.

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.


What happens if the sum of all the forces acting on a moving object is zero?

If the sum of all the forces acting on a moving object is zero, the object will continue to move at a constant velocity in the same direction. This is described by Newton's First Law of Motion, which states that an object will remain in its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.


If an object is moving away from you and left alone what happens?

If an object is moving away from you and there are no forces acting on it,then it continues moving in a straight line at constant speed.


Forces acting on an object that is not moving are described as this?

It can be said that the net force applied on the object is zero or that the object is in translational equilibrium. Keep in mind that these terms can also be applied if the object is moving at a constant velocity.


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.

What do you know about the forces acting on an object that is moving at a constant velocity?

When an object is moving at a constant velocity, the forces acting on it are balanced. This means that the net force on the object is zero, which allows it to continue moving at a constant speed in a straight line. The forces acting on the object may include friction, air resistance, and any applied forces.


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


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.


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 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 will happen to an object moving at a constant speed if the forces acting on it are balanced?

If the forces acting on an object are balanced and the object is moving at a constant speed, the object will continue to move at that constant speed in a straight line. There will be no change in the object's velocity or direction of motion.


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.

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.

Can all forces of a car be balanced if it is moving a constant velocity?

Yes, if a car is moving at a constant velocity, all the forces acting on it are balanced. The forward force of the engine and the opposing forces such as air resistance and friction are all equal, resulting in a net force of zero and the car moving at a constant speed.
