An object moves with constant velocity. What can be said about the net force on it?

A.The net force is constant and nonzero
B.The net force is in the direction of motion
C.The net force increases with time
D.The net force is zero

Core Concept

By Newton's first law, an object with constant velocity has zero acceleration, which means the net force on it must be zero (F = ma = m·0 = 0).

Correct Answer

DThe net force is zero
