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.

Acceleration = 0
therefore force = 0

∙ 12y agoSince the falling body is at terminal velocity, there is therefore no net force acting on it, otherwise it would change 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
A feather with no net force on it maintains constant?
In physics, net force refers to the overall force acting on an object. A feather with no net force on it maintains 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
Is it possible that body is moving with constant velocity but force acting on it is zero?
Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.
What is a possible state of an object in the absence of net force?
When no net force acts on an object, then its velocity is constant. That means that its speed and direction don't change. If it is at rest, its velocity is zero. If it is in motion, then it continues in a straight line at constant speed. The most general statement is: When net force acts on an object, then the object accelerates. When no net force acts on an object, then its acceleration is zero. Even more general than that: A = F/M . (An object's acceleration) is (the net force acting on it) divided by (its mass).
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.
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
If an object has no net force acting on it?
it is in equilibrium.
A feather with no net force on it maintains constant?
In physics, net force refers to the overall force acting on an object. A feather with no net force on it maintains constant velocity.
What can you assume if an object has a constant velocity?
The net force acting on it is zero.
Can a moving object be equilibrium?
Yes, if the velocity is a constant with no net force.
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.
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 acceleration of an object that moves at a constant velocity and what is the net force on the object?
Both are definitely zero
Is it possible that body is moving with constant velocity but force acting on it is zero?
Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.
Does an object have net force if it is motionless?
Yes, but the net force is ZERO! If an object is moving at constant velocity, the sum of the forces acting upon it is zero. When an object is motionless, its constant velocity is zero. If at any time the sum of the forces -- sometimes called the net force -- is non-zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force.
What is a possible state of an object in the absence of net force?
When no net force acts on an object, then its velocity is constant. That means that its speed and direction don't change. If it is at rest, its velocity is zero. If it is in motion, then it continues in a straight line at constant speed. The most general statement is: When net force acts on an object, then the object accelerates.
