Question
an object is moving across a surface, but it does not gain or lose speed. which best describes the objects force? the net force is positive. the net force is zero. the positive force is greater than the negative force. the negative force is greater than the positive force.
According to Newton's first - law, an object will maintain a constant velocity (no gain or loss of speed) when the net force acting on it is zero. A non - zero net force would cause an acceleration (change in speed or direction).
