Answer 1

An object moving at a constant speed will speed up only if there is a net force greater than zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

An object moving at a constant speed will only speed up if there is a net force greater than zero acting on it. According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it. If the net force is zero or if there are two forces that cancel each other out, the object will continue to move at a constant speed.
