Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the force required to keep a 15 kg object moving at a constant velocity?
  • Step 1: Understand that an object moving at a constant velocity is not speeding up or slowing down.
  • Step 2: Recall Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.
  • Step 3: Since the object is moving at a constant velocity, there is no net external force acting on it.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the force required to keep the object moving at a constant velocity is zero.
