An object experiences a net zero external unbalanced force. Is a it possible for the object to be travelling with a non-zero velocity If yes, state the conditions that must be placed on the a magnitude and direction of the velocity. If no, provide a reason

Explanation:
Yes, an object may travel with a non-zero velocity even when the net external force on it is zero. An object moving in some direction with constant velocity will continue in its state of motion as long as there are no external unbalanced forces acting on it. In order to change the motion of the object, some external unbalanced force must act upon it.
A raindrop falls down with a constant velocity. The weight of the drop is balanced by the up thrust and the velocity of air. The net force on the drop is zero.
