Taking into account the Newton's second law, the amount of force required to keep the object in motion if you ignore the surface friction is 0 N.

Newton's second law

In first place, acceleration in a body occurs when a force acts on a body. There are two factors that influence the acceleration of an object: the net force acting on it and the mass of the body.

Newton's second law states that this force will change the speed of an object because the speed and / or direction will change. These changes in velocity are called acceleration.

So, Newton's second law defines the relationship between force and acceleration mathematically. This law says that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the sum of all the forces acting on it and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Mathematically, Newton's second law is expressed as:

F= m×a

where:

  • F = Force [N]
  • m = Mass [kg]
  • a = Acceleration [m/s²]

Force required to keep the object in motion

In this case, you know:

  • F= ?
  • m= 5 kg
  • a= 0 [tex]\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex]. Acceleration is a magnitude that measures the change in velocity in a given period. That is to say that if the object changes speed, that change is measured with acceleration. So if an object is moving at a constant speed, there is no change in speed and its acceleration is zero.

Replacing in Newton's second law:

F= 5 kg× 0 m/s²

Solving:

F= 0 N

Finally, the amount of force required to keep the object in motion if you ignore the surface friction is 0 N.
