False. If it is at rest then it cannot spontaneously move and, conversely, if it is moving, it cannot come to rest all by itself. There must be some external force causing that change.

- true or false an object with no force on it must be at rest?

false


Ability to stay at rest or to keep moving?

Inertia


Any time the forces are balanced an object will remain at rest true of false?

false


Is it true that the property of inertia states that if an object is at rest it will tend to start moving?

No, the property of inertia states that an object will remain at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an external force. This means that an object at rest will stay at rest unless a force is applied to make it move, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force stops it.


Is it true or false that Galileo believe that the natural state of an object was to be at rest?

False. Galileo believed that the natural state of an object was to be in motion. He famously challenged the Aristotelian idea that objects naturally came to rest.


Can a force act to cause an object at rest to move?

An example of force being used to move a stationary object is when you push a door open.


What ability to stay at rest or to keep moving?

The ability to stay at rest or keep moving is known as inertia. An object at rest will remain at rest, while an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.


Can the property of inertia state that an object at rest will tend to start moving?

False


Is it true or false that newtons Law of Motion states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object that are in motion with a force that is equal to its propelling force?

False. Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force.


What kind of force is required when an object is moved at rest?

To move an object that is at rest, you must overcome all other forces that are acting on the object, such as friction.


A moving object with no forces acting on it will?

Continue to move along its path. "An object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest, tends to stay at rest."


Is it true that if at any time the forces are unbalanced an object will remain at rest?

No it is not. Newton's first law states that an object at rest stays at rest (or in a constant straight line motion) unless acted upon by an outside unbalaced force. So the object would move if an unbalaced force acted on it.
