What is are Newton's 3 laws of motion 

1.) An object in motion or rest will stay in motion or rest until an external force acts upon it. 


2.) F = ma


3.) For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction

What is the difference between static friction and kinetic friction? 

Static friction: The amount of friction to keep an object at rest against a surface.


Kinetic Friction: The amount of friction when an object moves against a surface.

If an object is at rest, can you conclude that there are no forces acting upon it? 

No, even if an object is at rest, forces are still acting upon the object to keep at equilibrium in rest.
