Not necessarily. An object doesn't need a force to move, only to CHANGE its velocity. In empty space, an object can continue moving indefinitely without any force.

Is it possible for an object to move if no net force is acting on it?

no


Would happen if the normal force and gravitational force acting on an object were unequal?

If the normal force and gravitational force acting on an object were unequal, the object would either accelerate or decelerate in the direction of the net force. If the normal force is greater, the object will move upwards; if the gravitational force is greater, the object will move downwards.


When a force is exerted on an object causes the object to move then what is done on the object?

When a force is exerted on an object causing it to move, work is done on the object. Work is defined as force acting over a distance in the direction of the force.


When does the object of the forces does not move?

If no force is applied to an object, the object will not accelerate - its velocity won't change.


What will happen to an object at rest if it is pushed but there is large frictional force acting on the object?

It will stay at rest.


What is the net force of something that is at rest?

The net force acting on an object at rest is zero. This means that all the forces acting on the object are balanced and there is no overall force causing it to move.


Why a force acting on an object does no work if the object is not in motion?

Work is defined as the product of force and displacement. If an object is not in motion, there is no displacement, thus no work is done by the force acting on the object. Work is only done when a force causes an object to move through a distance in the direction of the force.


In what directions can an object move when acted on by a force?

it will move the object that the force i pushing it to Example: Force---->Object------> the object is moved in the direction it is being pushed or pulled by the force


Is it possible for an object not to be in motion and still have a force acting on it?

Yes, the object can have equal forces acting in opposite directions: 5N ->[]<- 5N The object will have forces acting upon it, but will not move.


What is it when the net force on an object is zero and it doesn't move?

When the net force on an object is zero and it doesn't move, the object is in a state of equilibrium. This means that the forces acting on the object are balanced, resulting in no acceleration.


What is the force exerted on an object to get it to move is called what?

a push or a pull, in other words an unbalanced force that is strong enough to move your object


What are the between balanced force and unbalanced force?

An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.
