Can there be displacement of an object in the absence of any force acting on it
Question asked by: kjtmanu
Asked on: 28 Oct 2010
A force of some sort needs to be applied in order to move an object.
For instance if an item is at rest then it will remain at rest unless some force acts upon it I believe that this is one of the basics of Newton's laws.
