A reference frame? Of course, a reference frame need not be a specific object, so I'm not really sure...

Why is it really hard to push a car to start moving it but it is easy to push it to keep it moving?

newtons first law. An object in motion stays in motion. Its inertia keeps it going


How can you tell if a force is balanced or unbalanced by looking at it?

2 Forces are unbalanced when an object that is not moving starts moving or changes speed or direction. Balanced forces are the opposite they are where an object that is not moving stays still or an object that is moving stays at a constant pace.


Unless an object at rest is acted upon by a force it stays at rest due to its?

Unless an object at rest is acted upon by a force, it stays at rest due to its inertia.


When a pair of balanced forces acts on an object what will happen to an object that is moving?

If two forces acting on an object are equal and opposite, then the net force acting on the object is zero. If the net force acting on an object is zero, then the object's velocity will not change. If it is already moving, then it will continue to move in a straight line at that same velocity. If it is not already moving, it will stay stationary.


Which of these is an example of a scientific law?

One scientific law, called Newton's Law of Inertia,states that an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at the same speed, unless acted upon by and outside force. So in plain English- An object that is moving keeps moving unless it is acted upon by friction. Also, an object that isn't moving doesn't move unless it is pushed or pulled.

When an object is moving it stays moving unless acted upon by?

When an object is moving it stays moving unless acted upon by opposing force(s). i.e. gravity, friction, etc. See Newton's 1st law of motion: related links.


An object in motion is moving in relation to an object that appears to what?

An object in motion is moving in relation to a reference point. This reference point can be another object that is stationary or moving at a different speed or direction. The motion of an object is always observed or measured in relation to a reference point.


'A collection of charges in one place that is not moving is called what?

For many materials such as balloons, the charge stays in one spot where you rub the object. Such materials fit into a class called insulators. The answer to your question is: insulators or insulation.

Does the speed stay same no matters what mass?

That depends on the situation. If the object is moving freely in a vacuum, the speed stays the same. If an object is accelerating, the speed change depends in part, on the mass of the object.


What happens when balanced forces are applied to a non moving object?

When balanced forces are applied to a non-moving object, the object remains at rest. This is in accordance with Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.


Can moving objects be a reference point?

No, moving objects cannot be a reference point because a reference point is typically a fixed point used to determine the position or motion of other objects. Using a moving object as a reference point would make it difficult to accurately measure or describe the position or motion of other objects relative to it.
