A force applied to an object at rest causes the object to move. According to Newton’s first law, what must be true of the force?(1 point) Responses The force is stronger than gravity. The force is stronger than gravity. - no response given The force is unbalanced. The force is unbalanced. - no response given The force is stronger than inertia. The force is stronger than inertia. - no response given The force comes from behind the object.

Answer 1

According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Therefore, the correct answer is:

The force is unbalanced.

This means that the applied force must overcome any opposing forces (such as friction) and result in a net force that causes the object to move.
