Question 8 • Physics

Which object is in static equilibrium?

Answer
A
a rolling ball that has a net force acting on it
B
a book that has no net force acting on it and is sitting on a table
C
a vase that has a net force acting on it and is sitting on a shelf
D
a cruising car that has no net force acting on it

Explanation

Static equilibrium means an object is at rest and has zero net force. The book is sitting still on the table, and the forces on it balance, so it is in static equilibrium. A cruising car may have zero net force, but it is moving, so it is not in static equilibrium.
