Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
When the cart is moving, several forces act on it. Gravitational force acts downward. The frictional force acts in the opposite direction of the motion. This force is preventing the cart from moving. To overcome the frictional force, the horse must maintain a constant force in order to move the cart at a constant speed. As a result, in order to overcome the frictional force, the horse maintains a constant force in order to move the cart at a constant speed.
