No, it can be moving.

A body is said to be in equilibrium when the forces acting on it cancel each other out, that is, the body is not accelerating.

Therefore an object might be moving at a constant speed and be considered in equilibrium.

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

Yes, that is correct.


An object stays at rest unless what acts on it?

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


What happens when no force acts on an object?

If no force acts on an object, it will remain at rest if it was initially at rest, or continue moving at a constant velocity if it was already in motion. This is known as Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object will remain in its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.


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

An external force.


Would it be correct to say that inertia is the reason a moving object continues motion when no force acts upon it?

Yes. Newton's First Law of Motion: Every body continues to remain in its state of rest or uniform motion unless it is acted on by an external, unbalanced force.


What will happen to a object at rest if no unbalanced force acts on it?

If no unbalanced force acts on an object at rest, it will remain at rest according to Newton's first law of motion.


Can you say that no force acts on a body at rest?

No, it is not accurate to say that no force acts on a body at rest. Even when a body is at rest, there can still be forces acting on it, such as gravitational forces or normal forces. These forces balance each other out to keep the body stationary.


Newtons first law of motion states that an object remains at rest unless a force acts on it?

Yes, the law states that an object continues its state of rest or uniform motin in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by an external source impressed upon it.


Was the law of inertia states that a body remains at rest or continues in a states of uniform motion unless a force acts on it?

Yes, that is correct. The law of inertia, also known as Newton's First Law of Motion, states that an object will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.


What newton first law of motion?

Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest and a body in motion remains in motion at constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.


What are the force acting on a body at rest?

When a body is at rest, the forces acting on it are balanced. These can include gravitational force pulling the body downward and normal force exerted by the surface supporting the body. As long as these forces are equal and opposite, the body remains at rest.


What force acts on an object at rest?

gravity and normal force (assuming presence of a gravitational field)
