An object is moving at a constant velocity. What can be inferred about the net force acting on it?
Correct: C
According to Newton's First Law, an object continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. If an object is moving at a constant velocity (meaning constant speed and constant direction), its acceleration is zero. According to Newton's Second Law (F=ma), if acceleration (a) is zero, then the net force (F) acting on the object must also be zero.
