Homework Statement


in the question you're having to solve for this.

A force is applied at a angle of 30 degrees on a object that weighs 12kg that is also moving at a constant velocity. kinetic friction is equal to .70
i am confused on how to find the Force applied to achieve a constant velocity

If it's constant velocity, what's the acceleration? What is the relationship between acceleration and net force?
 
It doesn't give it's acceleration

Yes it does. What do you think constant velocity means?
what i mean is that it doesn't give its acceleration as far as numbers wise

OMG sorry i just had a brain fart it's zero that's how working on a lot of things at once can confuse yourself it's acceleration is 0.
