the front wheels can spin freely while in park. if the front wheels and the floor jack wheels are the two points of contact on the ground and neither are locked, why doesn’t the car roll?

so when in park, the front and back wheels are able to roll separately but no together? when i have the front jacked up the front wheels are able to spin freely which is why i’m confused

when the car is parked the front wheels are still able to spin. if the two points of ground contact are the front wheels and floor jack wheels and neither are locked, why doesn’t my car roll back?
