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 the object moving with the same velocity is
The correct answer is (b) 0 N.
Since the table is frictionless and the object is already moving with a constant velocity of 4 m/s, no external force is required to maintain its motion. According to Newton’s First Law, an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

(b) 0 N. Since velocity is constant, so acceleration and hence force applied is zero.
