If the net force on a block is zero, the block will move at constant velocity
Explanation:
We can answer this question by applying Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
(1)
where
is the net force on the object
m is its mass
a is its acceleration
In this problem, we have a block, and the net force on it is zero:
According to eq.(1), this also implies that
So, the acceleration of the block is zero.
However, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of a body:
where is the change in velocity in a time of
. Since the acceleration is zero, this means that
, and therefore the velocity of the object is constant.
