An 1850 kg car is moving to the right at a constant speed of 5.00 m/s.

-What is the net force on the car?
-What would be the net force on the car if it were moving to the left?

- 0 N. The car is moving with constant speed so there is no acceleration. Since Force = ma, then force is also 0.

- Assuming the question is saying swap the right direction with the left direction in the question, it would be the same scenario where Force = 0N. The question is a little ambiguous so I can't really answer that question
