The Earth's gravity stops the object from floating when at rest.
It will stay at rest.
It will stay at rest.
All forces acting on it cancel out.

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.
An object at rest or in motion with no force acting upon it.
Usually gravity and friction.
To move an object that is at rest, you must overcome all other forces that are acting on the object, such as friction.
Continue to move along its path. "An object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest, tends to stay at rest."
If the net force on an object is zero, then the object is in equilibrium. This means there are balanced forces acting upon it, or none at all.
