Please answer

5. An object of mass 2kg is sliding with a constant velocity of 4m/s on a frictionless horizontal table. The force required to keep the object with the same velocity is 

a) 2 N  

b) 8 N 

c) 0 N 

d) 0.5 N 

Dear Student,
Answer to your question is given below:
Given, velocity = 4 m/s
            mass = 2 kg
Now, we know that, F = ma
For v = constant, the acceleration, a = 0 m/s2
Hence, F = m x 0 = 0 N
Therefore option (c) is the correct choice.
