Galina-37 [17]
Newton's first law of motion states that when there is no net external force, an object will remain at rest or travel with a constant velocity. 
When an object is moving, there is a force of friction resisting the motion, and slowing it down. To maintain a constant velocity, a person must push with a force equal to that of friction, to counteract the frictional force. 
Since the pushing force cancels the friction force out, there is no net external force, and so the object moves at a constant velocity

Write a list of easy starter pets for kids. (yes this is a real question I have an extracurricular class)

Hope this helps!
