What keeps an object at rest from movingn on a surface when a force is applied to the object?

Friction.


Is an object at rest has friction?

An object can be at rest with or without friction. An object floating in outer space can be at rest. An object that is glued to the floor can also be at rest.


What friction keeps an object from moving when a force is applied?

Static friction prevents an object from moving when a force is applied. This type of friction occurs when the object is at rest and resists the force parallel to the surface. Once the force overcomes static friction, the object will begin to move.


What keeps an object moving if there is no friction?

Momentum .


What keeps an object at rest or in a straight line?

An object at rest stays at rest due to inertia, which is its tendency to resist changes in motion. Inertia also helps an object in motion to continue moving in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force, such as friction or gravity.


What is called a friction at rest?

Static friction is the type of friction that occurs when an object is at rest and prevents it from moving when a force is applied to it.


Does static or sliding friction keeps an object from moving when a force is applied?

Static friction keeps an object from moving when a force is applied. It is the force that must be overcome to initiate movement of an object. Sliding friction occurs once the object is in motion.


What is the friction force that acts on an object when it is at rest?

The friction force that acts on an object when it is at rest is called static friction. It is a force that opposes the initiation of sliding motion and prevents the object from moving. The magnitude of static friction is equal to the force applied to the object, up to a certain maximum value.


What is resistive forces?

Perhaps you mean friction or inertia.


Does a balanced force keeps an object at rest?

Yes, balanced forces will keep an object at rest.


What are the forces on object at rest?

Usually gravity and friction.
