Why do objects seldom move when forces are applied?

If the object doesn't move, that means there is an opposing force. In that case, the net force on the object is zero. Two typical cases are: * An object resting on a surface is pulled down by gravity. The surface pushes the object up. * In the case of a force that pulls or pushes sideways, the opposing force is usually friction.


What force call against moving object?

Friction. Opposing Force


Is friction a push force?

Friction is a push force. When one object pushes one direction on an object the other object pushes the opposite direction. The harder an object is pushed against another the more friction there is.


Concept of equilibrium with the laws of motion?

An object is said to be in equilibrium when two opposing forces acting upon it create a resultant force of 0.Example:A car is sitting on a road. The force of gravity pushes the car downward, while an opposing force pushes it upward. This causes an equilibrium, and therefore the car does not move as a result of these two opposing forces.

Which force pushes against a moving object as it passes through air?

When an object is moving in a particular direction, air resistance will be acting on the object in the opposite direction to the direction of travel.


If the action force is the downward push of his weight on the chair what is the reaction force?

In the opposite direction, and on the other object. In this case, the chair pushes upward against the person.


What is the force that causes a change of velocity when acting on an object?

Opposing force


What force oppses the motion of an object falling through the air?

Nothing is opposing an object falling to earth. Gravity is causing an object to fall back to earth which is opposing the object from leaving earht. If anything the force that opposes gravity is the force at which an object is projected.
