Calculate the resultant force acting on body of mass 10kg moving with uniform velocity of 2 meter per second
F=ma
F=10kg*2m/s^2=20Newtons
uniform velocity (no acceleration) , means no force
Scott is correct, and he should have added, dont respond to physics questions at 4am.

To calculate the resultant force acting on a body, we need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.
In this case, the object is moving with a uniform velocity, which means it has zero acceleration. Therefore, according to Newton's second law, the resultant force acting on the body is zero.
Mathematically, we can express this as:
Resultant force = mass × acceleration
Resultant force = 10 kg × 0 m/s^2
Resultant force = 0 N
So, the resultant force acting on the body of mass 10 kg moving with a uniform velocity of 2 meters per second is 0 Newtons.
