In order for an object of constant mass to be traveling with constant velocity, which of the following must be true? a. the net force acting on the mass must be zero b. it’s acceleration is constant c. the net force acting on the mass is greater than zero d. none of the above
Option (a) is correct.
If the net force acting on the constant mass is zero, then from Newtons second law we have
which implies ,
which in turn implies ,
