What does a force applied to a stationary object give the object?
"Motion" or "Momentum"
What are stationary objects?
Stationary object refers to an object that is not moving
What is the stationary object against which motion can be measured?
There is no such thing as a "stationary" object. Every motion is always measured relative to something else, which, coincidentally, is what the question is all about. The thing against which motion is measured is called the "reference frame".
The net force acting on an stationary object is zero Which best describes the object's velocity?
In that case, the object's velocity won't change.
What does force have to do with motion?
A stationary object will not move unless a force is applied to it.
Stationary objects are the result of?
0 velocity 0 acceleration The forces on the object are balanced: it is in equilibrium. (The forces are balanced on any object with 0 acceleration, even if it is moving.)
What does a force applied to stationary object give the object?
motion or momentum Motion for A+
What does the force applied to a stationary object give to the object?
"Motion" or "Momentum"
What does a force applied to a stationary object give the object?
"Motion" or "Momentum"
What is a stationary object by which motion can be determined?
frame of reference

What does force applied to a stationary object give the object?
Newton's First Law of Motion states that objects will remain in their current state of motion (whether stationary or travelling at a constant velocity) unless an outside force acts on them. If he force you are mentioning here causes the net force to become unbalanced, then the force will cause the object to accelerate until the forces are balanced and it reaches either a constant speed, or the opposing force causes it to decelerate and eventually become stationary.
The net force acting on an stationary object is zero Which best describes the object's velocity?
In that case, the object's velocity won't change.
What do you understand by state of motion?
A description of the motion of the object. Stationary vs moving described by velocity.
When is an object in motion?
When its position changes with respect to a point of reference.
What does force have to do with motion?
A stationary object will not move unless a force is applied to it.
