Question

A force can move a stationary object. If force is applied to a stationary object, does it always move?

Open in App
Solution

No, it is not necessary that the stationary object will move always when a force is applied. If there is a friction force between the object and the ground then the friction force will oppose the motion of the object. Hence, the stationary object will move only if the applied force is greater than the friction force between the object and the ground.
