If a constant net force is applied to a body, the body is
1) accelerating. 2) moving at constant speed. 3) at rest or moving at constant velocity. If a body is moving at constant velocity, it must have 4) a constant net force acting upon it. 5) constant non-zero acceleration. 6) constant speed. 7) none of the above.
