A static object does not move downwards because the force of gravity acting on it is equal and opposite to the normal force exerted by the surface it rests on. This results in a state of equilibrium where the net force on the object is zero, preventing it from moving downwards.

When does an object not move downwards under the effect of gravity?

On every object on earth, earth exerts a force on it which is equal to the weight of object. When we throw a object it earth exerts force on it and it came downwards but if we throw it with escape velocity then it will not move downwards.


How does the object move when you let it go?

downwards


If the force applied to an object doesnt make the object move then no friction has been done is this true?

No, it is not true. Friction can still occur even if the object does not move. The force applied may overcome static friction but not cause the object to move due to other factors like weight or surface roughness.


What is the of static electricity as charges move off an object?

Static


What is the result as static electricity charges move off an object?

As static electricity charges move off an object through a discharge, the object then becomes the same potential as the surrounding objects in the area.


What effect does friction have when you are trying to move an object at rest?

It provides static friction, so the object cannot move until the static friction is overcome.


In which direction does static friction act on an object when it is at rest?

Static friction acts in the opposite direction of the force trying to move the object.


If you drop an object from airplane where it goes?

The object will appear to move backwards relative to the airplane, but it will actually move in the direction of travel as well as fall downwards.


What are the forces said to be if the object does not move?

The forces are said to be static.


Why is it difficult to move an object from its static position?

Moving an object from its static position can be difficult due to static friction. Static friction is the force that opposes motion when an object is at rest. This frictional force must be overcome by an external force to initiate movement.


Electrons that move from one object to another and then remain at rest produce?

What is an example of being opposed by static friction?

When you move a heavy object, you must apply a lot of force before the heavy object begins to move. This resistance you feel while the box is NOT moving is static friction. Static friction opposes movement in an initially non-moving object.
