13) choose the best answer. an unbalanced force acting on an object must overcome ____ before the object will move. neutral weight sliding friction microscopic texture static friction

Answer

Brief Explanations:

Static friction is the force that resists the initiation of sliding motion of an object at rest. An unbalanced force must overcome this static - friction force to start the object moving. Sliding friction acts when the object is already in motion. Microscopic texture is related to friction but not the force that needs to be overcome to start motion. Neutral weight is not a relevant force in this context.

Answer:

D. static friction
