If a car is traveling due westward with a constant speed of 20m/s, what is the resultant force acting on it?
An object moving at a constant velocity must
not have any force of gravity acting on it
have no force of friction
have all forces that act on it balancing each other
have a net force acting on it
eventually stop due to the force of gravity
What net force is needed to accelerate a 10-kg mass at the rate of 40 m/s2 (neglect all friction): (a) Horizontally?
