If the net force on an object is zero, does that definitely ,eam that the object is not moving?
Added by Ana B.
Step 1
This is also known as the state of equilibrium. However, this does not necessarily mean that the object is not moving. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless Show more…

If a non-zero net force is acting on an object, then the object is definitely: moving with constant velocity losing mass at rest being accelerated

If the acceleration of an object is zero, are no forces acting on it? Explain and give an example. Can an object have an non-zero net force applied to it, and have a constant velocity? Explain and give an example.
