What happens to a system when there are no external forces acting on it?
There will be no action. everything remains still.
Is it possible for an object not to be in motion and still have forces acting on it Explain?
Yes. An object will remain at the same velocity including zero velocity (not in motion) if the forces on it are balanced. There may still be forces on it but if they cancel out it will not change its velocity. For example a brick sitting on a table on the planet Earth. The force of gravity is acting on the brick. If the table was not there the brick would accelerate downwards (fall) but because the table is there and is exerting an upwards force which exactly matches the gravitational force the brick remains stationary. (At least in the frame of reference of the brick/table/floor/Earth, if you were observing it from the moon it would be moving and accelerating rather quickly but that is probably beyond the scope of this question.......)
Is it possible for forces acting on a given body to balanced each other and still rotate due to these balanced forces?
Yes. For the object not to move, two conditions must be satisfied: (1) The vector sum of forces must be zero, and (2) The vector sum of torques must be zero. Do some reading on torque, for more information.
Why are there rocks on the moon that are older than any rock on earth?
There is no geologic activity or weathering on the moon to break rocks down, so most of the rocks on the moon are nearly as old as the moon itself. Earth is geologically active and has processes that will destroy and recycle rocks. None of the rocks that made up Earth's original surface are still intact.
Does venus mars or mercury have tidal forces?
Phobos and Deimos are small moons of Mars, and consequently the tidal forces are extremely weak. Venus and Mercury have no moons, but are still subject to the tidal forces of the sun, and in both cases these forces are considerably larger than they are on Earth (solar tidal forces on the Earth noticeably affect sea levels). It's also worth noting that tidal forces affect the entire planet (think of a tennis ball being squeezed - in this case the squeezing is caused by the gravitational attraction of the sun).
Is it possible for an object to not be in motion and still have forces acting on it?
Yes, the object can have equal forces acting in opposite directions: 5N ->[]<- 5N The object will have forces acting upon it, but will not move.
What are the similarities between balanced and unbalanced forces?
An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.

What forces are still acting on the Grand Canyon today?
Water and wind.

There will be no action. everything remains still.
What are 3 forces acting on a water spider when it is standing on a still pond?
stuff
Will two or more forces acting at different angles be placed in the same quadrant or in the adjacent quadrant and still be in equilibrium?
if the two forces are acting in an opposit direction they can not be in equilibrum.but if they acting in thesame direction from different angles they can be in equilibrum.
What are the forces acting on sitting still?
The chair in pushing you up and the gravity pushing you down
What does the term balance mean?
If you add up all the forces acting on an object, they are balanced if they equal zero. (They cancel each other out). If the forces acting on a object are balanced, then the acceleration of that object is zero. It may still be moving, but it is not accelerating. An object that is not accelerating, (the sum of the forces acting on it is zero), is in equilibrium.
What causes objects to stay still?
The sum total of all the forces acting on the object is zero.
Is it possible for an object not to be in full motion and still have forces acting on it?
Yes hanging load. Its weight ie force due to gravity is acting downward. And the tension the rope is acting upward. Both the forces are acting on the load but as they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction the resultant becomes zero.
