A stationary object remains still because all the forces acting upon it are ‘balanced’, i.e. the effect of each force acting on a body is cancelled out by an equal and opposite force. When the forces on an object are balanced, a scientist would say there is no net force or no resultant force acting on it i.e. all the forces cancel each other out.<br /> | A stationary object remains still because all the forces acting upon it are ‘balanced’, i.e. the effect of each force acting on a body is cancelled out by an equal and opposite force.
