What is the tendency of an object at rest when no forces act on it?
The tendency of an object when no forces act on it.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Newton's first law of motion also known as law of inertia. It states that every object in rest remains in rest unless force acts on it.
The object at rest on surface means the total force acting on the object is zero, so object remains at rest until external forces changes its position.
Conclusion:
The tendency of an object is to remain at rest so that no external force acts on it.
