in equilibrium with a net force of zero
When an object is at rest, the forces acting upon it are balanced - there are no unbalanced forces.
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.
If the net forces acting on an object amount to zero, that object is at rest.
There can be forces acting on an object while it is at rest, as long as the forces cancel each out. For example: a block laying on a table feels the force of gravity pulling it down, but the table pushes up with the same force. Therefore, the forces cancel and the object remains at rest.
You never know. The only thing you know about the forces on an object that's not accelerating is: They all add up to zero, and their effect on the object is the same as if no forces at all were acting on it. That's the same as saying that all the forces on the object are 'balanced'.
unbalanced
unbalanced
To move an object that is at rest, you must overcome all other forces that are acting on the object, such as friction.
For an object to be at rest, the sum of all the forces acting on that object must be zero.If you want to formulate a question, you can base it on that.

Usually gravity and friction.
Yes. Forces with identical value but with opposite direction will produce no displacement.
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.
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.
