No it is not. Newton's first law states that an object at rest stays at rest (or in a constant straight line motion) unless acted upon by an outside unbalaced force. So the object would move if an unbalaced force acted on it.

If the forces are unbalanced will the object remain at rest?

no


What will happen to an object at rest if no unbalanced forces act on it according to newton's first law?

It will remain at rest


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.


How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object at rest?

they cause the object to move with acceleration given by A nett force.


Compare how balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object at rest?

balanced forces don't move an object, but unbalanced forces on an object do move


How do balanced forces and unbalanced forces differ?

* Balanced: The vector sum of all forces on an object is zero. The object does not accelerate.* Unbalanced: The vector sum of all forces on an object is NOT zero, the object DOES accelerate.


How the forces affects the object at rest?

An unbalanced force will always make an object accelerate. If the object is at rest, it will start moving.


An object at rest will remain at rest unlees what type of force acts upon it?

A force. This leads to the equation; force = mass x acceleration Unbalanced(:


The characteristics of unbalanced force and balanced force?

When equal and opposite forces act on an object, the object does not change its state of rest or motion. These forces are called balanced forces. When unequal forces act on an object, the object changes its state of rest or motion. Such forces are called unbalanced forces.


An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in straight-line motion will remain in straight-line motion unless acted upon by a(n) .?

...by an unbalanced force


How do unbalanced forces differ from balanced forces?

An object with no force on it will either be at rest or moving with a steady velocity, an object with an unbalanced force, which is the same as saying it has a net force on it, will be accelerating (or decelerating)


How can an object be moving if there is no unbalanced force on it?

Unbalanced forces cause acceleration, not movement. An object can move at a constant speed with no net force acting on it. An example would be an object falling at terminal velocity.It would have to have been already moving. Newton's First law states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion with the same speed and direction unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force. The second part of the law explains this.
