Yes, anything on the surface of the planet which is at rest exerts a force on the ground and the ground exerts a force on it.

Is it possible to have motion in absence of force?

Not according to Newtons Law: Forces = Mass X Acceleration However, in a vacuum, after you used your force on an object and it now has motion, the object will have motion for eternity, even when there is no force. So as a matter of fact, it is possible. Just not on any planet, only in outer space.


Can there be displament of object in the absence of any force acting on it?

Yes, if it is already in motion it will stay in motion ... displacement.


How force and motion are different?

Force is an action of one object against another where motion is one possible reaction.


Why is the term of energy closely linked with the idea of force and motion?

Actually force is negative gradient of energy. Hence space is essential for energy to manifest into force. As force is there then motion is possible.


How does a zero net force affect an object's motion?

Zero net force has no effect on an object's motion whatsoever.


The property of matter where an object's motion will remain unchanged in the absence of an unbalanced force?

im thinking momentum I belive the property is inertia


What is the force that maintain motion?

There is no force that maintains motion by itself. Motion is maintained by Newton's Law, that objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Forces can act to stop the motion, such as the force from friction, in which case some other force, such as the force provided by a car's engine, is what keeps the car from slowing down and stopping. But, in the absence of forces acting against motion, such as friction, an object will remain in motion with no forces acting on it.


What is something that can change the position of an object?

It can be a force or the absence of a force. A body at rest remains at rest unless it is acted on by a force. But, a body in motion will continue to move at a constant velocity (change its position) unless it is acted by a force.


A force is a motion or a?

No, a force is not a motion. A force may produce motion of a mass.


Is it possible that a body be in accelarated motion under a force acting on a body yet no work is being done by the force?

Yes, that is possible. For example, an object in circular motion, accelerated towards the center. The force (and the acceleration) is normal (perpendicular) to the movement; thus, the dot product between the force and the displacement is zero.


What is a possible state of an object in the absence of a net force?

Without a net force, an object won't accelerate - so, its velocity won't change over time.


Is motion a force?

No, motion is not a force. Motion is a change of coordinates. However, motion usually is a result of applying a force.
