If an object is not moving, does that mean there are no forces acting up on it? Why or why not?

Answer:

If an object is at rest, then there are no forces acting upon the object.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would take an unbalanced force to keep an object in motion at a constant velocity. It is the natural tendency of all objects to eventually come to a rest position.
