Not according to Newtons Law:

Forces = Mass X Acceleration

However, in a vacuum, after you used your force on an object and it now has motion, the object will have motion for eternity, even when there is no force. So as a matter of fact, it is possible. Just not on any planet, only in outer space.

Which principle was unknown in the time of Copernicus but later made it possible to explain a mechanism by which the earth orbits the sun?

The principle of inertia, proposed by Galileo, was unknown in Copernicus's time but later made it possible to explain how the Earth orbits the Sun. Inertia states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force, which helped to understand how the Earth moves around the Sun in the absence of a visible force pushing it.


Is it possible for a nonzero net force to act on an object without the object's speed changing?

Yes, it is possible for a nonzero net force to act on an object without changing its speed. This can happen if the force is acting perpendicular to the direction of motion, resulting in a change in direction but not speed (as in circular motion).


How does a zero net force affect an object's motion?

If an object experiences a zero net force, it will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line according to Newton's first law of motion. This means the object's motion will not change unless acted upon by an external force.


How does motion occur in outer space?

Motion in outer space occurs through the interaction of gravity and the initial momentum of objects. Once set in motion, objects in space will continue to move in a straight line unless acted upon by another force (such as gravity from a planet or star). The absence of air resistance in space allows objects to travel at constant speeds and maintain their velocity until another force intervenes.


What net force is needed to maintain a 1000 kg in uniform motion for 30 minutes without friction?

Uniform motion is what happens in the absence of any net force, so force isn't needed to maintain uniform motion. But in our everyday experience on Earth, we always need to supply force in order to keep something moving, only because there are always forces acting to stop it, and we have to counteract them. In the case of your 1,000-kg car, we'd have to know what forces are working against it ... wind, road friction, air resistance, wheel-bearing friction, etc. ... and then we'll know how much force we have to supply to cancel those out. Whatever the answer is, it'll be a continuous thing. The length of time will be irrelevant.

Is it possible to have force in the absence of a motion?

Yes, it is possible to have a force in the absence of motion. An object at rest can still experience forces acting on it, such as gravitational or electromagnetic forces. Forces can cause objects to stay at rest or to move, depending on the balance of forces involved.


Can there be displament of object in the absence of any force acting on it?

Yes, if it is already in motion it will stay in motion ... displacement.


For motion to occur?

For motion to occur, an object must experience a force that causes it to accelerate and move. This force can come from sources like gravity, friction, or applied forces. In the absence of a force, an object will remain stationary or in constant motion.


How force and motion are different?

Force is an action of one object against another where motion is one possible reaction.


What is the complete absence of energy known as?

The complete absence of energy is known as absolute zero. It is the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion ceases.


Is it possible that a body be in accelarated motion under a force acting on a body yet no work is being done by the force?

Yes, that is possible. For example, an object in circular motion, accelerated towards the center. The force (and the acceleration) is normal (perpendicular) to the movement; thus, the dot product between the force and the displacement is zero.


What will be the effect on a body in motion if the frictional force is eliminated?

If the frictional force is eliminated, the body will continue to move at a constant velocity in the absence of any other external forces acting on it. This is based on Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.


Difference between natural motion and violent motion.?

Natural motion is the motion that an object would undergo in the absence of any external force, such as falling downward. Violent motion is the motion caused by an external force acting on an object, such as pushing or pulling. In the context of Aristotelian physics, these terms were used to describe different types of motion observed in the natural world.


What is the force that maintain motion?

There is no force that maintains motion by itself. Motion is maintained by Newton's Law, that objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Forces can act to stop the motion, such as the force from friction, in which case some other force, such as the force provided by a car's engine, is what keeps the car from slowing down and stopping. But, in the absence of forces acting against motion, such as friction, an object will remain in motion with no forces acting on it.


What keeps an object in motion?

An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force, as described by Newton's first law of motion. In the absence of any external forces, an object will continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line due to inertia.


What is a possible state of an object in the absence of net force?

When no net force acts on an object, then its velocity is constant. That means that its speed and direction don't change. If it is at rest, its velocity is zero. If it is in motion, then it continues in a straight line at constant speed. The most general statement is: When net force acts on an object, then the object accelerates. When no net force acts on an object, then its acceleration is zero. Even more general than that: A = F/M . (An object's acceleration) is (the net force acting on it) divided by (its mass).


What happens to moving objects in the absence of a net force?

Moving objects will continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line without changing their speed or direction, as per Newton's first law of motion. This means that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
