Any object in motion is very likely to come to rest, but ONLY if it is acted on by resistance. The object could be anything from a speck of dust to a planet or star. Anything that touches a moving object -- such as air molecules -- will slow it down and eventually stop it. Even a planet can be stopped by dust in time. It may take billions of years, but it will stop. But an object WILL NOT stop on its own. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion; objects at rest tend to stay at rest. This is due to their inertia, which is defined as resistance to changes in velocity.

What is objects at rest and objects in motion?
a car
What causes object in motion to come to rest?
when an equal and opposite force is applied to it
Who discovered unbalanced force?
Who discovered that objects don't necessarily want to come to a rest, but instead stay in a straight line motion
What friction opposes the motion of sliding objects?
The force that opposes objects already in motion is Kinetic Friction.Static Friction prevents objects from starting to move when originally at rest.
What is property of a body that resist any change in velocity?
Inertia."Objects in motion tend to stay in motion, and objects at rest tend to stay at rest, unless acted on by an outside force."That is a wording of Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of intertia.

What causes object in motion to come to rest?

What law talks about objects at rest and in motion?
Newtons laws of motion
An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in straight-line motion will remain in straight-line motion unless acted upon by a?
A force, that may come from a collision with ... Another object.
What causes balanced force?
Balanced forces cause stationary objects to remain at rest and moving objects to come to rest. If on exact opposite direction - nothing. Else it will produce a resultant force.
Is inertia a negative force?
More than a force, it really is the law in which objects in motion stay in motion and objects at rest stay at rest.
Who discovered unbalanced force?
Who discovered that objects don't necessarily want to come to a rest, but instead stay in a straight line motion
Does an object in motion have more energy than on object at rest?
Objects in motion have kinetic energy and objects at rest have potential energy. Whether or not the object in motion has more energy than the same object at rest or vice versa depends on specific circumstances. It depends on the speed of the object in motion.
What friction opposes the motion of sliding objects?
The force that opposes objects already in motion is Kinetic Friction.Static Friction prevents objects from starting to move when originally at rest.
What is netwon1st law?
Objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
Objects at rest or in uniform motion have what acting on them?
zero net force
What does newtons first law of motion state about objects at rest and objects in motion?
An object in motion will not change its motion unless acted on by an external force. This applies to zero motion also.
