Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
A force can move a stationary object only when the applied force is greater than the resistance force acting on the object. So, if the resistance force exceeds the applied force, the object will not move. Or if the resistance force is less than the applied force, the object will move. When the resultant force acting on a body is not zero, we can say an unbalanced force acts on it. When acted on a body, a net or unbalanced force changes its state of rest or uniform motion. Or we can say the body will move.
The correct statement would be that we can say that if force is applied to a stationary object, it will not always move.
