Question 1-1: In each case, lifting or pushing, why must you exert a force to keep the object moving at a constant velocity?

We must apply a force to keep the object moving at a constant velocity due to gravitational force or weight (in case of lifting), and due to frictional force (in case of pushing).

Explanation:

LIFTING:

When an object is lifted, we first need to overcome the force exerted on it by the field of gravity. Due to this force, which is also called the weight of object, we must apply a force on the object to keep it moving at constant speed, otherwise the gravity force will cause the object to slow down and eventually fall back on ground.

PUSHING:

When pushing an object the person must apply the force to first overcome the frictional force. The frictional force acts in opposite direction of motion. Thus, to move the object at constant speed we must apply force to it.

Hence, we must apply a force to keep the object moving at a constant velocity due to gravitational force or weight (in case of lifting), and due to frictional force (in case of pushing).
