Athletes slide across the water, clinging to a long rope attached to the back of a speeding motorboat. As the athlete finds the boat, it acts with a lot of forward force. What is the total force acting on an athlete moving forward in a straight line at a uniform speed?

If an athlete moving forward in a straight line at a uniform speed his acceleration is zero.
Thus, the total force acting on an athlete is zero too.
