Yes. If it is at rest to start with, it will remain at rest until an external force acts on it. Likewise, an object starting in motion will remain in that same motion until an external force acts on it.

3 laws of motions?

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction An object in motion stays in motion until a force acts upon it An object that is not in motion stays in place until a force acts upon it


An object stays at rest unless what acts on it?

An object stays at rest unless a force acts on it.


What happens when An object stays a rest until what acts upon it?

An object will remain at rest until an external force is applied to it. This force could initiate motion in the object or change its state of rest.


When a constant force acts on a mass starts moving from rest then the?

acceleration of the mass will be constant until another force acts on it, causing a change in acceleration. The mass will continue to move in the direction of the force until an opposite force is applied.


An object at rest stays at rest unless a net force acts on it?

Yes, that is correct.


When an unbalanced force acts on an object?

Then one force is overcoming another force, and the object moves.


When there is no external force acts on a system of particles the velocity of the centre of mass is?

When no external force acts on a system of particles, the velocity of the center of mass remains constant. This is described by Newton's first law of motion, stating that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force.


How does force cause motion?

Force causes motion by exerting a push or pull on an object, which results in the object accelerating in the direction of the force. This acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied, according to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma). Once the force stops acting on the object, it will continue to move at a constant velocity due to its inertia.


The tendency of an object to stay in motion or at rest until a force acts on it is called?

inertia


If no force acts upon an object at rest what will the object do?

If no force acts upon an object at rest it will just stay there. Example: Lets say you put an appple on a flat table. The apple stays still when you don't touch it. If you touch the apple, it will move. If you don't touch the apple, it will just stay there.

If the force acting on a object are unbalancedwhat happens?

If the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the larger force. This acceleration will continue until the forces become balanced or another force acts to counteract the unbalanced force.
