Best Answer

In order for an object to be in constant uniform motion ... that is, un-accelerated,

with constant speed and direction of motion ... the vector sum of all forces acting

on it must be zero.

What is resistance to the motion of an object?

Resistance to the motion of an object is friction. Several different kinds of friction exist, including dry, fluid, lubricated, skin, and internal.


What conditions would have to exist for perpetual motion to be possible?

No friction, in other words a vacuum.


Does absolute motion only exist in outer space?

There is no such thing as "absolute motion" - neither in outer space, nor anywhere else. Motion must always be specified in relationship to some other object.


What conditions must exist in order for a force to do work on an object?

The force must couple to the object. The point of application of the force must be able to move in the direction of the force.


Is the third law of motion push and pull?

Erm..yes. Technically Newton's 3rd law of Motion States that, " all forces exist in pairs: if one object A exerts a force FA on a second object B, then B simultaneously exerts a force FB on A, and the two forces are equal and opposite."


Can boulders move by themselves?

The answer is "No" according to Newton's First Law. An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in uniform motion tends to stay in uniform motion unless acted upon by an outside force. I think you are referring to Death Valley's "Racetrack". This dry lakebed is a unique place where rocks slide around on it's surface and leave tracks. Although I don't think anyone believes particularly weird phenomena are at work, the issue of why they move (and even WHEN!) seems not to be completely resolved. (Competing theories do exist.) No. But it the regards of the rocks moving across the racetrack, seismic vibrations, however slight, can vibrate and the rocks will move towards gravity, or downhill.


What is the study of the relationships that exist between forces and the motion of objects?

Dynamics is the study of relationships that exist between forces and the motion of objects.
