Question

1. Which of the following best describes the movement of an object at rest if no outside forces act on it?

It will move due to inertia.
Gravity will eventually cause it to move.
It will stay at rest due to inertia.
It will stay at rest due to gravity.

Answer 1

C.It will stay at rest due to inertia

Answer 2

If there are no outside forces act on an object, the object is said to be in an equilibrium. In this case, all forces cancel out which makes the object stay at rest. The answer would be C. It will stay at rest due to inertia since inertia is the force needed to stop an object
