A person pushing a bin with 45 N of force slides the 3 kg plastic bin on a rough surface with friction. The plastic bin is moving with a constant velocity. What is the net force acting on the box?

F = 0

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting to push a bin = 45 N

Mass of the plastic bin, m = 3 kg

The plastic bin is moving with a constant velocity.

We need to find the net force acting on the box. Constant velocity means the change in velocity is equal to 0. It means acceleration will be 0.

As a result, the force acting on the box is equal to 0.
