What is necssary to put an object that is at rest in motion?

To put an object at rest in motion, a force must be applied to it. This force must overcome any opposing forces, such as friction or inertia, to initiate movement. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force. Once sufficient force is applied, the object will begin to accelerate in the direction of the applied force.
