The net force must be zero

This is in accordance to Newton's first law, which states that any object in motion will remain in motion and any object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. An unbalanced force is one where the net force is not zero. If no unbalanced force is applied to a moving object, it will keep moving forever. The reason that we do not observe this in our daily lives is due to friction acting as the unbalanced force.

According to Newton’s first law of motion, when will an object at rest begin to move?

soldi70 [24.7K]

2. When an unbalanced force acts upon it

Think of a glass of milk resting on a table. The glass weighs a certain amount more due to the load it carries. It would be unaffected until and unbalanced force (such as a hand) carelessly knocks it over spilling the contents.

Hope this helps :)

3 examples when friction is helpful?

Some examples of when friction is helpful are: to help the movement of tires. When you walk, and also, when you erase. :)

A = $\frac{ v^{2} }{r}$ = ω²r
