Valtteri Bottas, a Formula One driver for Mercedes, is analyzing the forces on a 400 kg car driving at a constant velocity of 20 m/s. They draw the following
diagram:

Which of the following statements properly identifies what is wrong with their force
diagram?

A. The diagram shows a net force but there should not be a net force on the car.

B. There cannot be any forces on the car if it has a constant velocity so there
should be no arrows.

C. There should be more backward force on the car because the car is slowing
down.

D. The forward force should be 20 N rather than 8,000 N since F = ma.
