Question
newtons first law quick check
an object that is stationary is the result of what kind of force(s)? (1 point)
balanced forces
unbalanced forces
net forces
no forces
According to Newton's First Law, an object at rest (stationary) remains at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Balanced forces mean the net force on the object is zero. When net force is zero, there is no acceleration, so the object stays in its initial state (stationary in this case). Unbalanced forces would cause acceleration (change in motion). Net forces imply a non - zero resultant force which would change the object's state. And in reality, there are usually forces like gravitational and normal forces acting on objects (so "no forces" is incorrect).
