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.

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 a varying velocity?

Yes, an object can have a constant speed but varying velocity if it changes direction while moving at that speed. Velocity includes both speed and direction, so if an object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed but changing direction, then its velocity is constantly changing even though its speed remains the same.


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.


If an object has no net force acting on it?

If an object has no net force acting on it, it will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line, following Newton's first law of motion.


When is speed equal to the magnitude of velocity?

Speed is equal to the magnitude of velocity when the object is moving in a straight line without changing direction. In other words, if the velocity vector is pointing in the same direction as the motion of the object, then the speed will be equal to the magnitude of the velocity.

When a body moves with constant velocity what is the magnitude of net force is the magnitude of force applied to keep the body moving equal to less than or more than frictional force explain?

When a body moves with constant velocity, the net force acting on it is zero as there is no acceleration. The magnitude of the force applied to keep the body moving is equal to the frictional force opposing its motion. This ensures that the forces are balanced, resulting in a constant velocity without any acceleration.


What is the condition for equilibrium?

The condition for equilibrium is when the net force acting on an object is zero and the object is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity. This means that the forces acting in opposite directions are equal in magnitude and balanced.


If we push a crate at a constant velocity how do we know how much friction acts on the crate compared to our pushing force?

If the crate is moving at a constant velocity, then the force of friction acting on the crate is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force you are applying to push the crate. This means that the force you apply to push the crate is balancing out the force of friction acting against it. By measuring the force you are exerting and observing the constant velocity of the crate, you can infer the magnitude of the friction force.


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.


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 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.


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.


If you push a crate with a force of 100 N and it slides at a constant velocity how much is the friction acting on the crate?

If the crate is moving at a constant velocity, the friction force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the pushing force, so it is also 100 N. This is because the two forces are balanced and there is no net force acting on the crate.


How do you know that the forces acting on an object are balanced?

If an object is at rest or moving at a constant velocity, the forces acting on it are considered to be balanced. This is because in such cases, the net force acting on the object is zero, meaning that the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
