Tom pushes a 10 kg wood box across a wood floor at a steady speed of 1 m/s. There is friction between the box and the floor. Tom app lies a force of 200 N to maintain the motion of the box. Now, if the box becomes four times heavier, and it is moving at a steady soeed of 2 m/s, how much force (in New on) does Tom need to apply to maintain the motion of the box?

Question

How do I incorporate the velocities given to find the Force?

Tom pushes a 10 kg wood box across a wood floor at
a steady speed of 1 m/s. There is friction between the box
and the floor. Tom app lies a force of 200 N to maintain the
motion of the box. Now, if the box becomes four times
heavier, and it is moving at a steady soeed of 2 m/s, how
much force (in New on) does Tom need to apply to
maintain the motion of the box?
