Resistance keeps an object in place. This resistance can come from friction, which works against motion, or from an obstacle of some kind that is prohibiting movement. In terms of vertical motion, gravity holds all objects to the earth and keeps them firmly planted on the ground.
An object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted on by a force
An object in place will stay in place unless acted upon by a force. So if you kick a box in place on the floor it will move. There is always a force of gravity pulling it down, bu the force of gravity is resisted by the floor which keeps it in place (equilibrium - no net force). If you cut around it and make a hole in the floor it will move straight down.

One way to make a description interesting is to use more, and more interesting, adjectives. Ex. We stayed at a motel. Better: We stayed at a tiny, cosy, motel beside sparkling Lake Ontario.

I placed the object on the table, but it was gone when I returned for it.
An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
In a simple microscope, the object is placed at the object focus point where the image is formed. This image is then magnified by the eyepiece lens so it can be viewed by the observer.

The upward push on an object by liquid or gas it is placed in is its buoyant force. This force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
When an object is placed in water, it will experience a buoyant force equal to the weight of the water displaced. If the object's density is less than that of water, it will float. If it is greater, it will sink.
The direction of static friction acting on an object placed on a horizontal surface is opposite to the direction in which the object is trying to move.
The image formed by a convex mirror when an object is placed in front of it is virtual, upright, and smaller in size than the object.
