Physics: Forces on a block at constant velocity

The problem states:

A 13 kg block of wood slides across the floor with constant speed when it is pulled with a horizontal force of 32 N. What is the friction constant, µ, between the wood and the floor?

Sir if force are equal and opposite how could the body move ???

[danialbajwa]

If the question told me that there was a box moving at constant velocity of 6m/s. Would there be a force of friction and an applied force to make the net force 0 since its moving at constant velocity. Or would there be no force of friction and just no forces in the x direction at all?

Hi if there's also tension force opposing the motion of the object
Is the friction still equal to the applied force?

i have a small doubt about force.if a body moves in a constant velocity then acceleration will be 0 and hence force will also be 0(f=ma), but we still feel a force.how??Is it the net force on the body is 0 or the force it will produce is 0.

Sir if a car with constant velocity hits a man then man experiences forces but according to theory he should not because a=0 can you pls explain?

[deadpirateroberts]

V can't be const. Because ur applying force and force = ma hence a=32/13 hence v can't be const

Does it matter what the velocity value is? If it’s constant does it matter if the velocity is 5 m/s or 100 m/s if the acceleration is zero?
