Question 1 • POP Physics 26/27

Which object is in static equilibrium?

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

Explanation

Static equilibrium means an object is at rest and has zero net force acting on it. The book is sitting on the table and has no net force, so it is in static equilibrium. The cruising car has no net force but is moving, so it is not in static equilibrium.
