Why is the book placed on the table remain in state of rest while force of gravity is applied?

An object at rest tends to remain at rest - an object in motion tends to remain in motion.


An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in straightline motion will remain in straightline motion unless acted upon by a n?

Force


An object at rest will remain at rest unless this type of force acts upon it?

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. This is part of Newton's third law of motion.


If the forces are unbalanced will the object remain at rest?

no


What is The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion with a constant velocity is known as?

The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion with a constant velocity is known as inertia.


An object to remain at rest?

An object will remain at rest if the forces acting on it are balanced, resulting in zero net force. This is described by Newton's first law of motion which states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.


An object at rest will remain at rest if?

All forces acting on it cancel out.


Is it true that if at any time the forces are unbalanced an object will remain at rest?

No it is not. Newton's first law states that an object at rest stays at rest (or in a constant straight line motion) unless acted upon by an outside unbalaced force. So the object would move if an unbalaced force acted on it.


What measures an object's tendency to remain at rest or keep moving?

An object's tendency to remain at rest or keep moving is measured by its inertia. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion. The greater the inertia, the harder it is to change the object's state of rest or motion.


What is An object at rest will remain at rest unless this type of force acts upon it.?

An object at rest will remain at rest unless an external force is applied to it. This is known as Newton's first law of motion, also called the law of inertia.


How does inertia affect an object?

Inertia guarantees that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in that same motion, so long as there is no external force acting on that object. Alternately, there could be force acting on it as long as that force adds up to zero.


What is the tendency for an object at rest to remain at rest?

The tendency for an object at rest to remain at rest is known as inertia, which is a fundamental property of matter. Inertia describes an object's resistance to changes in its state of motion, whether that be at rest or in motion.
