Question

if the force applied to an object is not greater than the starting friction, what will happen to the object? the object will begin to move but will quickly slow down. the object will move in the opposite direction of the force applied. the object will move with the magnitude of the force applied. the object will not move.

Answer 1

The object will not move.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frictional force is a force that moves against the applied force. The frictional force arises from the interaction of surfaces.

The applied force is a type of force that can move or modify the object in which the force is applied. But if the starting friction is higher than the applied the object will not move because the applied force is not strong enough to defeat the starting friction.

I hope this answer helps you.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) the object will not move.

If a force applied to an object is not greater than the starting friction, what will happen to the object is that the object won’t move.

The force that resists movement one object against another is friction. The force that opposes the start of motion is static friction. Friction is the force that resists motion. So the ratio of the force needed to move an object or maintain the object in movement and the normal force is the coefficient of friction. That is why if a force applied to an object is not greater than the starting friction, what will happen to the object is that the object won’t move.
