In Case 3, the mass moved because the applied force exceeded the maximum limit of static friction. When a force is applied to an object at rest, static friction works to keep the object in place. However, when that applied force becomes greater than the static friction's capacity, the object begins to slide. This transition is an exciting moment in physics, showcasing how forces interact! Once the object starts moving, static friction is replaced by kinetic friction, which is usually lower. This means the force needed to keep the object in motion is much less than what it took to get it moving in the first place. This is why it's easier to slide that heavy box once you've pushed it a bit!
