A horizontal force of 10,000 N is required to push a box across a floor at a constant velocity. The net force acting on the box is ____ N

OpenStudy (shane_b):

The trick to this question is that the box is traveling at a *constant velocity*. That means there is 0 acceleration. Since F=mass * acceleration, the net force is 0N.

It takes some practice but it gets easier
