Question

If a car is moving to the left with constantvelocity, one can conclude thatthere mustbe no forces applied to the car.the netforce applied to the car is directed to the left.the netforce applied to the car is zero.there isexactly one force applied to the car.

Answer 1

Answer:

the net force applied to the car is zero.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object (a) is directly proportional to the net force applied (F):

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

where m is the object's mass.

In this problem, the car is moving with constant velocity: this means that the acceleration is zero, a = 0. Therefore, according to the previous equation, the net force must also be zero: F = 0. So, the correct answer is

the net force applied to the car is zero.
