No. For a body to be in equilibrium it must be acted on by either no forces, or by several forces such that their vector sum (the net force) is zero.

But dont you think that when we sit, then a single fore weight acts on it???

Why is an object in equilibrium during constant motion?

When an object is in equilibrium, the acceleration is zero. When the acceleration is zero, the velocity does not change; the non changing velocity includes the case when the velocity has value zero.


What motion does an object have if all forces are balanced?

If all forces of an object are balanced, then the motion of the object will remain the same. For instance, if all forces are balanced and if the object is moving, then it will continue to move. If it's still, it will remain still.


What are the two types of equilibrium and how are they different?

The two types of equilibrium are static equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium. Static equilibrium is when an object is at rest, while dynamic equilibrium is when an object is moving at a constant velocity with no acceleration. Static equilibrium involves balanced forces in all directions, while dynamic equilibrium involves balanced forces with movement.


What are the condtions for an object to stay at restto keep moving at constant velocity or to move with increasing velocity?

The Condition of Equilibrium, Force equal zero, is the condition of an object at rest or moving at constant velocity. Non-Equilibrium Condition, Force is not zero, is the condition for an object to move with increasing velocity.


Can a couple be said to be dynamic equilibrium if yes does its resultant moment not contradict the definition of equilibrium?

No, a couple is not in equilibrium, unless there is an equal and opposite force acting against each member of the couple.Be sure to remember that something can still be moving even if it is in equilibrium. It just means it's not accelerating.A2 People often forget that there is a difference between a hypothetical point sized object and a typical sized object when applying the condition for equilibrium. If the forces on an object are equal and opposite it is only the centre of mass that is required to be at rest (or moving at constant velocity). So for a point sized object that means the entire object must be at rest. But for a typical sized object only the centre of mass is required to be at rest. If the applied forces are off centre (as with a couple) it is still possible for the object to rotate about its centre of mass. This is dynamic equilibrium. If one also applies the second condition for equilibrium then you can have static equilibrium (no motion of centre of mass and no rotation) if the system is initially at rest. The second condition for static equilibrium is that there be no net torque on the object. That is the off centre forces tending to rotate the object(say clockwise) must be balanced by other off centre forces which tend to rotate the object counter clockwise.

Can and object be moving and still be in equilibrium?

yes


Is an object in equilibrium moving?

An object in equilibrium is not moving, as all the forces acting on the object are balanced. If the object were to be in motion, it would no longer be in equilibrium as there would be an unbalanced force acting on it.


Can an object be moveing and still be in equilibrium?

No, an object cannot be in equilibrium if it is moving. Equilibrium is a state where the net forces acting on an object are balanced and there is no acceleration. If an object is moving, there must be an unbalanced force acting on it causing its motion.


What is the test for whether or not moving object is in equilibrium?

If the object is moving on constant speed or it's in rest, it is in equilibrium (ΣF=0)


Can an object be moving but still have a net force of zero?

Yes, an object can be moving at a constant velocity (i.e., moving with no acceleration) and have a net force of zero. This occurs when the forces acting on the object are balanced, such as when an object is in equilibrium.


What is the test for whether or not a moving object is in equilibrium?

If a moving object is in equilibrium, the vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero. This can be determined by analyzing the forces acting in all directions (horizontal and vertical) to see if they balance out. If the net force is zero, the object is in equilibrium.


What condition does a moving object be in equilibrium?

A moving object can be in equilibrium if the vector sum of all the forces acting on it is zero. This means that the object is not accelerating in any direction, and its velocity remains constant.


If An object moving at a constant speed is in a state of?

equilibrium


What does not happen to a non moving object in equilibrium?

A non-moving object in equilibrium does not accelerate or change velocity. It remains stationary and experiences no net force acting on it.


How would you make an object reach equilibrium if it's not moving?

If it isn't moving, it is already in equilibrium, and you don't need to do anything more.


When the net force equals zero on a moving object what is it in?

It is in equilibrium.


Why an object in a state of equilibrium could either be in motion or standing still?

An object in equilibrium can be in motion if the forces acting on it are balanced and it is moving at a constant velocity. Alternatively, the object can be at rest if the forces acting on it are balanced and there is no net force causing it to move. In both cases, the object is in a state of equilibrium because the forces are balanced, whether it is in motion or at rest.
