Answer: The force required to keep the wrench moving continuously in space is 0 N.
Explanation:
Force applied on an object is defined as the product of the mass and acceleration of the object.
Mathematically,
\(F=ma\)
where, F = force applied
m = mass of the wrench
a = acceleration of the wrench
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. We are given, a wrench is moving with a constant velocity, so the acceleration of the wrench will be 0.
\(a=\frac{dv}{dt}=0\) (At constant velocity)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
\(F=m\times 0=0\)
Hence, the force required to keep the wrench moving continuously in space is 0 N.
