Can there be forces that act on a car moving in a straight line with constant speed?

Yes, but the net force is ZERO! If an object is moving at constant velocity, the sum of the forces acting upon it is zero. If at any time the sum of the forces -- sometimes called the net force -- is non-zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force.

∙ 14y agoYes, but the sum of the forces is zero in this case. Typically, the motor pulls the car forward, whereas the air resistance, and resistance with the road, pulls the car backwards.

What happens to an object when the forces are balenced and it's moving?
Then the result will be the same as if NO forces act on the object (since the sum of the forces is zero). The object will continue moving in a straight line, at constant speed.
What is the result of balanced forces acting on an object?
The object's acceleration is zero ... it continues moving in a straight line at a constant speed.
If a car moves at constant speed also moving at constant velocity give an example?
A car moving at constant speed in a straight line is also moving at constant velocity.
What will happen to an object moving at constant velocity?
Such an object is traveling at a constant speed in a straight line. Nothing will happen to it until the forces acting on it become unbalanced, or it runs into something.
Is a ball rolling in a straight line at a constant speed in equilibrium?
Yes. Because it is moving at a constant speed, we know that it is not accelerating (changing its speed). This means that all forces acting on it are balancing each other, so the net force is 0.
What will happen to an object moving at a constant speed if no outside forces act on it?
It's not necessary to specify that the object is moving at a constant speed. Any object with no outside forces acting on it does that. It also continues moving in a straight line.
Does an object moving in a constant speed in a straight line have any forces acting on it?
It will have zero force BUT, it WILL have a constant velocity

Are there unbalanced or balanced forces on the moon?
Must be unbalanced. Otherwise, the moon would be moving at constant speed in a straight line.
What is the result of balanced forces acting on an object?
The object's acceleration is zero ... it continues moving in a straight line at a constant speed.
If a car moves at constant speed also moving at constant velocity give an example?
A car moving at constant speed in a straight line is also moving at constant velocity.
If an object is moving away from you and left alone what happens?
If an object is moving away from you and there are no forces acting on it,then it continues moving in a straight line at constant speed.
Can balanced forces act on moving object?
Sure. If all of the forces on an object are balanced, then the object continues moving in a straight line at constant speed. All of the forces on an airplane cruising in level flight, or on a car on cruise-control on a straight piece of road, are balanced.
Can balanced forces act on a moving objects?
Sure. If all of the forces on an object are balanced, then the object continues moving in a straight line at constant speed. All of the forces on an airplane cruising in level flight, or on a car on cruise-control on a straight piece of road, are balanced.
When do forces balance?
Balanced forces occur when a body is at rest, and when a body is moving at a constant speed in a constant direction.

Such an object is traveling at a constant speed in a straight line. Nothing will happen to it until the forces acting on it become unbalanced, or it runs into something.
Can an object have a constant speed and velocity at the same time?
Yes. An object moving in a straight line at constant speed has constant velocity.
