For example, when a car travels at a constant speed, the driving force from the engine is balanced by resistive forces such as air resistance and friction in the car's moving parts. The resultant force on the car is zero. ... an object falling at terminal velocity experiences the same air resistance as its weight.

Does a car moving at constant speed have force?
The result is a net force in the direction the pavement pushes against the tires and the car accelerates in that direction. But once moving, when it is traveling along at constant speed and in a straight line, there is no net force required to keep it moving (again, Newton's first law).
What forces are acting on a car speeding up?
To accelerate something, there needs to be a force from the outside. For the car accelerating from rest, the only thing acting on it in the forward direction is the friction due to the ground.
Is constant speed constant force?
If no force is applied then velocity will be constant. Originally Answered: Constant applied force means constant velocity, thus 0 acceleration, thus 0 net force according to the f=ma formula.
