What is the force that maintain motion?
There is no force that maintains motion by itself. Motion is maintained by Newton's Law, that objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Forces can act to stop the motion, such as the force from friction, in which case some other force, such as the force provided by a car's engine, is what keeps the car from slowing down and stopping. But, in the absence of forces acting against motion, such as friction, an object will remain in motion with no forces acting on it.
Are there forces acting on a car that is at rest xy?
There are forces acting on the car. They are just equal to the force of the car acting on the force. In example, gravity is acting on the car, but the car is pushing back equally. Therefore, the car doesn't move.
Why does a book continue to move forward when a car stops?
The book is experiencing inertia; a state which resists change in motion. This is represented by Newton's first law of motion which states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Therefore the book in the car continues to move forward until it is acting on by an external force such as the applied force of something in the book's path of motion.
Acceleration is against the direction of motion?
suppose when we apply brakes to a car in motion then the speed of the car decreases which means the acceleration is backwards but the car is still running in the forward direction
What is the force opposing the motion of a car?
Fluid Friction.
If friction acting on the car is the action force then what is the reaction force and what object does it act on?
friction is the reaction to motion
What forces are acting on a still car?
on a still car the weight force is down, and is balanced with the reaction force (working upwards). friction of forward and balanced with drag - backwards. ;)
A car drives to the right. There is a large amount of air resistance, and the car's engine provides the car's forward motion. Which force on the diagram below represents the normal force acting on the car?
A

Is an unbalanced force needed to start motion?
Yes, in order for an object to accelerate or decelerate, the resultant force cannot be zero.To cause a car to accelerate, the forward force (thrust force/engine force) must be greater than the backwards force (friction force/brake force). When this unbalanced force is achieved, the body will initiate its motion.

What do you say if you're in the mood to correct the mistaken statement of a friend xy?
There are forces acting on the car. They are just equal to the force of the car acting on the force. In example, gravity is acting on the car, but the car is pushing back equally. Therefore, the car doesn't move.
When forces are acting in the same direction how do you determine the net force or the force that results from their motion?
Whoa! Force doesn't result from the motion of forces. Let's take it slow. When forces are acting in the same direction, the net force is the sum of the individual forces. Four people, all behind a car, pushing it north. Two men pushing with 200 pounds apiece, two women pushing with 100 pounds apiece. The net force on the car is (200 + 200 + 100 + 100) = 600 pounds north.
Acceleration is against the direction of motion?
suppose when we apply brakes to a car in motion then the speed of the car decreases which means the acceleration is backwards but the car is still running in the forward direction
What is meant by all forces in pairs?
When a force is acting on an object, there is always another equal and opposite force acting upon it. For example; a car that is travelling forward has a force of 'Thrust' which is pulling the car forward, as this occurs, 'Drag' or 'Air resistance' is also acting upon the car.
Why car is example of second law of motion?
because the car is not in motion, untill an outside force acts apoun it.
