According to Newton's First Law of Motion, what does it take to move an object at rest? A. a force equal to the force keeping the object at rest, but in the opposite direction B. a frictionless surface and a net force of 100N C. the force of inertia cannot be overcome without changing gravity D. a force greater than the force keeping the object at rest

jabez177 (jabez177):

I believe it is D. @ChantySquirrel1129** @imqwerty

jabez177 (jabez177):

Or B but more D.

I know, I remember. :P

jabez177 (jabez177):

I meant C or D but more on D

imqwerty (imqwerty):

the object is at rest now just answer these question they will solve ur question- 1] the object is initially at rest will it start moving by itself or we have to apply some force?

jabez177 (jabez177):

You need to apple some force.

jabez177 (jabez177):

My teacher just went over this with us.

imqwerty (imqwerty):

yes the object is also experiencing some force which keeps it stationary 2]Does the force that we apply to move the object needs to be greater than the force which is keeping it stable or will it be okay if it both of them are equal remember that the net force of forces acting opposite to each other is in the direction of bigger force

jabez177 (jabez177):

It needs to be a greater force then the object.

imqwerty (imqwerty):

yes correct so what option is looking alright? :)

jabez177 (jabez177):

D.
