Yes, there are always forces acting upon things, even when at rest (although all motion is relative so nothing is really "at rest"). There are some that are visible to the naked eye. For example, wind and corrosion. There are also forces that are not visible to the naked eye. Like the forces that make the electrons spin around the nucleus, the forces that hold the object together, etc....

What does the unbalanced force exerted on object at rest?

When an object is at rest, the forces acting upon it are balanced - there are no unbalanced forces.


An object at rest will remain at rest if?

All forces acting on it cancel out.


Is it possible for an object at rest to have forces acting on it?

What happens if the forces acting on a object are balanced?

If the forces acting on an object are balanced, it means that the net force on the object is zero. In this case, the object will either remain at rest if it was initially at rest, or it will continue to move with a constant velocity if it was already in motion.


What are the forces acting on object at rest?

Usually gravity and friction.


Explain Can there be forces acting on an object if the object is a rest?

Yes. Forces with identical value but with opposite direction will produce no displacement.


When forces are balanced compare the acceleration of an object at rest and an object in motion?

An object at rest has zero acceleration. If the set of forces acting on a moving object is balanced, then the moving object also has zero acceleration.


Can an object be at be at rest if forces are being applied to it?

Yes, if the forces are equal and acting in opposite directions, the net force will equal zero and that object can be said to be at rest.


In order to move an object at rest you must make sure the forces acting on that object are?

unbalanced

What is a zero net force?

If the net forces acting on an object amount to zero, that object is at rest.


If an object is at rest all forces acting on that object must be?

in equilibrium with a net force of zero
