Question

An apple is resting on a table. Claire says that there are no forces acting on the apple because it is not moving. Is she right?

Answer 1

no

Step-by-step explanation:

there are forces , even when the apple isnt moving , for example gravity which is keeping the apple on the table

Answer 2

Yes, Claire is right. She’s right because when an object isn't moving, no external forces act on it. If a single force acts on an object, the object will accelerate (move). If an object accelerates, a force is acting on it.
