When a box is already in motion, it has momentum which helps overcome inertia and makes it easier to continue moving. Starting from rest means having to overcome static friction as well as inertia, which requires more force initially.

What force can cause an object at rest to move or it can accelerate an object that is already moving?

Any force.


Does objects at rest actually move?

Well, technically yes. Everything in the universe is moving at some rate. Not to mention that the earth is moving, thus everything on Earth is moving with it. !


What happens to the motion of an object if no net force acts?

If no net force acts on an object, the object will continue in its current state of motion. This means that if it is at rest, it will remain at rest, and if it is moving at a constant velocity, it will continue moving at that velocity.


Newtons first law of motion states that an object remains at rest unless?

Newton's First Law doesn't state that an object remains at rest. That's only one option. If no net force acts on an object, it will either remain at rest, or - if it was already moving - continue moving at a constant velocity.Newton's First Law doesn't state that an object remains at rest.

Do sharks move when resting?

Sharks die when they don't move, so even though they rest, they don't stop moving!


An object have the ability to stay at rest or move true or false?

False. If it is at rest then it cannot spontaneously move and, conversely, if it is moving, it cannot come to rest all by itself. There must be some external force causing that change.


Is it possible that the train in which you are sitting appears to move while it is at rest?

Yes, it is possible for the train to appear to move while it is at rest if another train next to it starts moving, creating an illusion of motion. Additionally, if there are vibrations or movements in the surroundings that are transferred to the stationary train, it may also feel like it is moving.


Can a force act to cause an object at rest to move?

An example of force being used to move a stationary object is when you push a door open.


Why is it more difficult to slide a crate starting from rest than it is to keep moving once it is sliding?

It is more difficult to slide a crate starting from rest because static friction exists between the crate and the surface, requiring a greater force to overcome. Once the crate is already sliding, kinetic friction is less than static friction, making it easier to keep moving with a lower force.


How do objects start moving?

Objects start out as either a rest or moving. If they are at rest, they require a force to be applied for them to start moving. If they are moving, they require a force to either slow them down or to make them stop. That means that once something starts moving, it will move forever, unless a force slows it down. The catch is that the force can be friction.


A moving object with no forces acting on it will?

Continue to move along its path. "An object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest, tends to stay at rest."


Can balanced forces move a body at rest?

Two or more forces that are balanced add up to zero. They have the same effect on masses as the complete absence of force, and they can't change the speed or direction of an object's motion.
