If a force is exerted on an object, is it possible for that object to be moving with constant velocity? Explain.

Given a force is exerted on an object .

When we apply a force on an object, it makes the object accelerating, that's what is Newton's law states where the acceleration is inversely proportional to the object's mass while it is directly proportional to the applied force$F$and this force is given by equation (5.3) in the form

$F_{\text{net}}=ma$ .....(1)

Where $m$is the mass of the object while $a$is the acceleration.

To make the object moves with a constant velocity , the acceleration must be zero, and in this case, from equation (l) the net force will be zero

$F_{\text{net}}=0$

The net force equals zero doesn't means there is no force is exerted on the object but there are more than on force are exerted with same magnitude in opposite directions.

So, the answer is yes, it possible for that object to be moving with constant velocity.
