Answer:

the amount of force is zero newton

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of an object = 2kg

Constant speed of the object = 8m/s

We need to find out the amount of the force

As in the question it is mentioned that the speed is constant so there would be no change in the velocity due to this acceleration would be zero

Now following formula should be used to find out the force

Force = ma

As a = 0

f = 0

Therefore, the amount of force is zero newton
