It depends on the magnitude of the forces.

When force applied to an object does not cause the object to move?

When a force is applied to an object but does not cause the object to move, it means that the force is balanced by an equal and opposite force, resulting in a state of equilibrium. This can happen when the applied force is opposed by friction, gravity, or some other force preventing movement.


What is normal force?

Normal force is the force of a surface acting on an object( the normal force is perpendicular to the plane of contact). This force is directly related to the force of gravity, as the third law of newton state that when a force is applied to an object it will react with an equal force in the opposite direction. So when an object is placed on a surface, the force of gravity is acting on it (pulling it down), but the is object remain in place due to the normal force (which is pulling up on the object). In addition, a change to the force of gravity will result in the same change to the force of normal, to allow an object to remain stationary.


What would be the applied force of a free falling object?

gravity


What kinds of forces can act on an object?

Normal force can act on an object


What is the force that supports an object against gravity?

The force that supports an object against gravity is called the normal force. It is exerted by a surface to prevent objects from falling through it. The normal force equals the force of gravity acting on the object.


What is the force applied by the machine to overcome resistance due to gravity or friction?

The force applied by a machine to overcome resistance due to gravity or friction is known as the applied force. Applied force is the amount of force needed to move an object against a resisting force, such as the force of gravity or friction. This force is usually measured in Newtons (N). When an object is stationary, the applied force is equal to the resisting force. When an object is moving, the applied force must be greater than the resisting force in order to maintain the object's motion. If the applied force is too small, the object will slow down and eventually stop. If the applied force is too great, the object may accelerate or move too quickly.In order to determine the applied force, the resisting force must first be calculated. This can be done by multiplying the mass of the object by the acceleration due to gravity. The resisting force due to friction can be calculated by multiplying the normal force of the object by the coefficient of friction between the object and the surface it is in contact with.


What are the three forces that act on an object?

The three forces that act on an object are gravity, friction, and applied force.


What must happen for an object to be in motion?

Gravity I guess :-)


Is it true that on a level surface applied forces equals weight?

No, on a level surface, the sum of all applied forces equals zero if the object is not accelerating. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object and is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.


When a force is applied that moves an object in the direction of the applied force is gravity done?

Gravity is indeed a force, but only one out of many. magnetic, frictional, mechanical ... . When an ordinary force applied to an object, (me pushing my wheelbarrow) this would not be considered as being affected by gravity.


What is the equation for calculating the normal force acting on an object?

The equation for calculating the normal force acting on an object is: Normal force mass x gravity.


When force is applied to an object but does not cause the object to move?

That will happen if the force applied is less than the limiting value of the friction between the object and the surface that it is in contact with.
