It would obviously fall to the ground. However, if you have a rocket which can't overcome gravity, you've got a pretty bad rocket...

Does an object at rest have forces acting on it and if so what forces would be along the vertical axis?

Yes, an object at rest can have forces acting on it. The vertical forces acting on an object at rest would include gravity pulling it downward and the normal force from a surface pushing it upward to balance the force of gravity.


How an object can have forces acting on it but not be accelerating?

Yes - if the sum of the forces is zero.Yes - if the sum of the forces is zero.Yes - if the sum of the forces is zero.Yes - if the sum of the forces is zero.


An empty office chair is at rest on the floor Consider the following forces Gravity Upward force exerted by the floor A net downward force exerted by air What forces are acting on the office chair?

The forces acting on the office chair are gravity pulling it downwards and the upward force exerted by the floor counteracting gravity to keep the chair at rest. The net downward force exerted by air will have a negligible effect and can be ignored in this scenario.


If an odject is at rest all forces acting on that obkect is?

If an object is at rest 2 forces are still acting on it (if done on a planet) gravity pushing the object down. And the up force which is the force exerted by ground upwards against the object. Gravity being the greater force keeps the object on the ground, but the upforce prevents the object from basically ploughing through the ground.


How are magnetism and gravity similar?

Magnetism and gravity are two fundamental forces in nature.The Shell Theorem can prove both magnetic and gravitational forces.Gravitational forces are always attractive. However, magnetic forces can be either attractive or repulsive. Both forces decay as the square of the distance between particles forming a couple.

What forces are acting when you are riding and then thrown from your bike?

The forces acting on the bike is gravity, air resistance and friction.


Is it possible for an object not to be in full motion and still have forces acting on it?

Yes hanging load. Its weight ie force due to gravity is acting downward. And the tension the rope is acting upward. Both the forces are acting on the load but as they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction the resultant becomes zero.

What are the forces of a stationary boat?

The forces acting on a stationary boat in still water are gravity acting downwards, buoyancy acting upwards, and drag acting to oppose any external forces like wind or current. These forces are balanced when the boat is stationary.


What are the forces acting on structures?

Gravity is a force acting down on it. A normal force is acting perpendicular to the ground at the base of the structure.
