Question

A horse continue to apply a force in order to move a cart with a constant speed. Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation: It is because if the horse does not move the cart with constant speed, the cart will stop.

Answer 2

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law a body remains in its state of motion or rest until an external force acts on it. But in this case the horse has to continuously exert the force to move the cart, this is because the force of friction is acting against the motion of the cart which us opposing its motion.
