No, it can be moving.
A body is said to be in equilibrium when the forces acting on it cancel each other out, that is, the body is not accelerating.
Therefore an object might be moving at a constant speed and be considered in equilibrium.

∙ 13y agoNo. It is correct to say that no net force acts on the object. The net force is the sum of all forces, but there can well be - and when there is gravitation, there usually are - individual non-zero forces.

∙ 14y agonot necessarily. Balanced forces just mean that the object continues doing what is was doing. If the object was at rest, it will remain at rest. If the object was already in motion, it will continue in that exact same motion. Only an unbalanced net force can change an object's motion.

∙ 14y agoAn object at rest remains at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
For example, if you roll a ball down a hill, it should keep rolling forever, however the reason it eventually stops is because the friction from the ground and air molecules (outside force) is acting upon the ball.

∙ 11y agoYes a body be at the state of rest as well as at state of motion at same time. A passenger moving in a bus is in state of motion with respect to an observer standing outside at road and he is in state of motion with respect to anther passenger traveling in the same bus.

∙ 12y agoNo. Consider an orbiting satellite. If it has a perfectly circular orbit then it has uniform acceleration, but if it has an elliptical orbit then its acceleration fluctuates.

∙ 10y agoyes. umm have you sat in a moving car and went in a straight line?

Who said the body will remain at rest unless external force acts on it?
newton
Will a body remain at rest if no net force acts on it?
If it was initially at rest - yes. If it was initially moving, it will continue moving at the same velocity.
An object at rest stays at rest until a force acts on it?
Yes. If it is at rest to start with, it will remain at rest until an external force acts on it. Likewise, an object starting in motion will remain in that same motion until an external force acts on it.
An object stays at rest unless what acts on it?
An object stays at rest unless a force acts on it.
Will a change in velocity happen in direction the force is applied explain?
Yes. When an outside force acts upon a body in motion, it will move in the direction of the force. This is inferred from Newton's first law of motion that states that a body at rest remains at rest or a body in motion remains in motion in a straight line at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an outside force.
An object at rest stays at rest unless a net force acts on it?
Yes, that is correct.
Who said the body will remain at rest unless external force acts on it?
newton
What happens when no force acts on an object?
Nothing changes. When no force acts on an object moving with constant velocity, the body continues its motion with uniform velocity, or if the object is at rest, it will remain at rest.
Will a body remain at rest if no net force acts on it?
If it was initially at rest - yes. If it was initially moving, it will continue moving at the same velocity.
An object at rest stays at rest until a force acts on it?
Yes. If it is at rest to start with, it will remain at rest until an external force acts on it. Likewise, an object starting in motion will remain in that same motion until an external force acts on it.
An object stays at rest unless what acts on it?
An object stays at rest unless a force acts on it.
Was the law of inertia states that a body remains at rest or continues in a states of uniform motion unless a force acts on it?
Yes
Does the law of Inertia state that a body remains at rest or continues in a state of uniform motion unless a force acts on it?
Yes
Would it be correct to say that inertia is the reason a moving object continues motion when no force acts upon it?
Yes. Newton's First Law of Motion: Every body continues to remain in its state of rest or uniform motion unless it is acted on by an external, unbalanced force.
Will a change in velocity happen in direction the force is applied explain?
Yes. When an outside force acts upon a body in motion, it will move in the direction of the force. This is inferred from Newton's first law of motion that states that a body at rest remains at rest or a body in motion remains in motion in a straight line at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an outside force.
What newton first law of motion?
Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest and a body in motion remains in motion at constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Newtons first law of motion states that an object remains at rest unless a force acts on it?
Yes, the law states that an object continues its state of rest or uniform motin in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by an external source impressed upon it.
