What is the force you have to overcome to start an object moving called?

Answer 1

I have to guess either gravity or friction.

If by that you mean a force that opposes the start of motion, then your force would be static friction.

Static friction only occurs before an object starts moving, as opposed to kinetic friction which occurs when the objects is moving or sliding. The equation for static friction is: Ff = (coefficient of static friction) * FN

Inertia

Answer 2

To begin to move an object, the force we will first have to overcome is the static friction of the object. It is fairly well known that if we're going to, say, slide a box across a floor, it takes more force to start it moving, and less to keep it moving. That's the difference between the static friction and the dynamic friction. It takes more force to "break loose" the object and start it moving (overcome static friction) than it does to actually keep it moving (overcome dynamic friction). A link can be found below.

Answer 3

-- If a motionless object begins to move, then its speed changes (from zero to something).

-- If its speed changes, then there is acceleration.

-- Force is necessary to produce acceleration.

Answer 4

The force is usually it's owns force e.g the plane uses it's own force so it can fly straight, it can also be gravity if it is moving down

Answer 5

Friction, or inertia. They can be considered the same thing depending on what you're trying to do.
