An object is moving with constant non-zero velocity.Which of the following statements about it must be true?
A)A constant force is being exerted on it in the direction of motion.
B)A constant force is being exerted on it in the direction opposite of motion.
C)A constant force is being exerted on it perpendicular to the direction of motion.
D)The sum of the forces exerted on the object is zero.
E)Its acceleration is in the same direction as it velocity.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the object is moving with constant non-zero velocity, it must be experiencing a balanced force, meaning the sum of the forces exerted on it is zero. If there were a net force acting on the object, its velocity would either increase or decrease. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect. Additionally, since the object is moving with constant velocity, its acceleration must be zero, so option E is also incorrect.
