Why are some object stay in place?

Objects stay in place when the forces acting on them are balanced. When gravitational force pulling an object down is equal to the opposing forces (such as friction or tension) preventing the object from moving, the object will stay in place. This balanced condition is known as equilibrium.


If an object is not moving can there still be a force acting on it?

According to Law of Inertia, an object will remain in its state of motion, either at rest or moving until an external unbalanced force acts on it. So if the object is at rest, some external force (F) has to be applied in order to move that object. Law of Inertia is actually a second law, out of three Newton's laws of motion.


How are the forces on a moving car balanced Surely if thrust and air resistance are equal the car will be stationary.?

No, that's not the way our Universe works. I suggest do some reading on Newton's Second Law - for instance, in the Wikipedia. Briefly, you do NOT need a NET force to keep an object moving. With a net force of zero (i.e., balanced forces): * A stationary object will remain stationary * A moving object will continue moving, at constant velocity.


Are there forces acting on an object that's at rest?

Yes, there are always forces acting upon things, even when at rest (although all motion is relative so nothing is really "at rest"). There are some that are visible to the naked eye. For example, wind and corrosion. There are also forces that are not visible to the naked eye. Like the forces that make the electrons spin around the nucleus, the forces that hold the object together, etc....


What is is tendency of a moving object when no forces act on it?

If a body is in motion, some force, of necessity, acted upon it to get it moving in the first place. However, if no furtherforces are acting upon it, including, for example, friction, gravity or solar radiation as with an object traveling through space, for example, the object would tend to continue on its path, unaltered, ad infinitum.

What forces are acting on objects that are moving with circular motion?

For objects moving in circular motion, the forces acting on them are centripetal force, which is directed towards the center of the circle, and inertia or centrifugal force, which acts outward from the center. These forces are responsible for maintaining the object's circular trajectory and preventing it from moving in a straight line.

Differentiate stationary object and accelerated object?

A stationary object is a object which is not moving or which have zero kinetic energy and a accelarated object is that which is moving withs some acceleration and have some kinetic energy.

Do things slow down as quickly in outer space as it does on Earth?

Usually not. To slow a moving object down, some force must act on the moving object. On Earth, this force is usually friction. In outer space, there is no significant amount of friction, so moving objects tend to continue moving, unless they are slowed down by OTHER forces, such as gravity.


Can you able to see all of the forces that affect an object?

No, we cannot see all of the forces that affect an object because some forces, like gravity or magnetic forces, are invisible to the naked eye. However, we can observe the effects of these forces on the object's motion or behavior.


What are forces that do not cancel out or change an objects motion?

Some forces that do not cancel out or change an object's motion include net external forces, such as applied forces, frictional forces, and gravitational forces. These forces can cause changes in an object's motion, such as accelerating or decelerating it.


What is a examples of forces?

Some exmples of forces are- an object begining to move an object speeding up an object begining to slow down or stop moving an object changing direction an object remaining still
