OK guys...give me an example where this can occur...its easy to say that the net force is zero and velocity can be something other than zero but I have not seen any examples yet. How about a spaceship that is accelerating and then stops accelerating...the net force is removed and yet the ship...

Thank you but...how can the velocity be constant and the external force be net zero? Would not friction cause an object to slow? Would the conditions have to be in space? I am a novice so go easy. Thanks

net force zero = velocity > zero ?? can the net force on an object be zero yet the velocity not be zero? I say yes but under what conditions and must any restrictions be placed on the magnitude or direction of the velocity?
