An object is at rest. There are several forces acting on the object, but the net force is zero. If all the
forces acting on the object were to suddenly double in size, would the object start moving? Why or why not?
It would not. Imagine four forces equal in magnitude but opposite in direction (e.g. north, east, south, and west). If these forces were to double in magnitude they would still have the same magnitude, meaning the net force is still equal to zero.
