An 850 kg car is moving to the right at 1.44 m/s. What is the net force on the car ?

I am totally off on this problem ! Can someone help ?
And in the problem above, it is different when the car moving left ?

Thanks

The problem appears incomplete. I am assuming that it means a "constant velocity" to the right at 1.44 m/s.

No matter what it is, or which way it's going, or how fast it's going...

if an object is going at a constant velocity, what is its acceleration, and what's the net force on it?
 
Is that the acceleration is 0, and i don't really know what is net force is ? That why i asked
