Question
An object of mass 2 kg is sliding with a constant velocity of 4 m/s on a frictionless horizontal table. The force required to keep this object moving with the same velocity is :
Options
32 N
0 N
2 N
8 N

Solution
0 N
Explanation:
The object will keep on moving on a frictionless horizontal surface by itself due to Newton’s First law of motion.
