If an unmovable object were to exist (physics at this time says it is impossible) it would have to have several properties. For the sake of discussion we are not counting the movement of the atoms and particles that make of this hypothetical object relative to themselves:
A: The object cannot absorb or radiate energy. Heat energy would cause the object to expand and contract, thus moving.
B: Any energy then, must be annihilated rather then stored or stored in a non-conventional state. A singularity could potentially be an unmoving object.
C: The object cannot be subject to gravity besides itself. Given a sufficiently large mass such that no other objects can exert a gravitational pull this could be possible, however unlikely to the point that the object's mass would have to be substantially greater then the sum of all other mass in the universe besides itself.
D: The object cannot exhibit rotation.
E: All observers at all speeds and distances must agree the object is not moving which again lends itself to the fact it must ignore gravity's effect.
F: Since movement is relative the object must always appear to be at the same location at all times. See E.
There are several other theoretical circumstances that could be applied to an unmovable object however physics clearly show that in the conventional universe an unmovable object is unlikely due to basic fundamental laws.

What are the physical properties of an object at rest?
an object at rest will stay at rest
Is hard a physical properties?
Yes Because it shows somthing physical of the object or whatever it was :)
Density is an example of?
Mass, volume, and density are all example of physical properties. Physical properties are any characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the material.
Does mercury the planet have any physical properties?
Yes. Every physical object has physical properties. Mercury has a heavily cratered silicate crust, a large iron-nickel core, and very little atmosphere.
Is viscosity a chemical or physical properties?
It is a physical property :)
Is the earth an unmoving object?
In relationship to most experiments and observations the Earth is considered an unmoving object. When looking at things in a larger scale, it moves.
Properties that change when the size of an object changes are called?
Are physical properties.
What are the physical properties of an object at rest?
an object at rest will stay at rest
What type of object other than unmoving objects can be used as reference points?
Any object can be used as the reference. There's no such thing as an 'unmoving' object. It's only unmoving relative to itself or to other things that are moving exactly the same as the object. That's the whole reason that you need a reference point.
What does a unmoving object have to have to start moving?
a force and inertia
Is hard a physical properties?
Yes Because it shows somthing physical of the object or whatever it was :)
Is melting a physical properties?
It is a form of action upon an object.
What property is state of matter of an object?
Are they're physical properties
What kind of electricity involves electric charges that remain unmoving on an object?
Static
The weight of an object is an example of?
The weight of an object is an example of the physical properties of the object and the effect of gravity on a mass.
What are the three physical properties of matter?
Three physical properties of matter are mass (amount of matter in an object), volume (the amount of space an object occupies), and density (mass per unit volume).
Density is an example of?
Mass, volume, and density are all example of physical properties. Physical properties are any characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the material.
