    - - "Constant velocity" means the acceleration of the object is zero.

    - - "Zero acceleration" means that all the forces on the object add up to zero.

    - - If a force of 50-newtons is pulling the object in one direction

    and the object's speed is constant, then the frictional force on

    the object must be 50 newtons in the opposite direction.
