Yes. If an object is at rest or in a linear motion state at constant speed, the net force applied onto the object is zero.

No. There is a force acting upon an object, it is just in rotational form.

If the net force on an object is 0 is the net torque 0?

0 newtons = no force = zero net force


How will an object move if it is acted on by a positive net torque and force of zero?

A torque will make it rotate - or change its rotation.


If a non zero net force acts on an object what does the object do?

-- When the net force on an object is not zero, the object undergoes accelerated motion.-- The magnitude of the acceleration is the ratio of the net force to the object's mass.-- The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.


What happens to an object which is activated upon by a net force which is not zero?

If the net force is not zero then the object will move in the direction of the greater force.


What is the net force on an object when the force on that object are balanced?

Zero.


What hapPens to the net force of the object if it is at rest?

In that case, the net force on the object is zero.


What is the net force or the resultant force acting on an object in equilibrium?

0. An object in equilibrium has constant velocity, which makes its acceleration 0. Since net force=mass times acceleration, this would make the net force zero. Note that there could be multiple forces acting on the object, but since it is in equilibrium they would have to be equal and opposite in direction, to cancel all of the forces out. This would make the net force zero.


What is a zero net force?

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


What is an example in which the net force acting on a object is zero and the net torque is nonzero?

-- four oxen harnessed at equal intervals to a millstone, grinding grain


Net force being zero?

when the net force of an object is at zero, it is at rest. That means that the forces on it are balanced. when the net force is not zero, the forces are unbalanced.


If we are told that an object has a constant velocity what can we say about the force on that object?

you can say that there is no net force on the object; that is, the net force is zero


What is the net force of something that is at rest?

The net force on such an object is zero.
