It depends on the context. If the ball is not moving and is at rest, then it is in a state of equilibrium. If the ball is in motion but not accelerating or decelerating, it could also be considered in equilibrium.

A ball resting on the floor is in what kind of equilibrium?

The ball is in stable equilibrium because it is at rest in its lowest energy state. If displaced slightly, it will return to its original position.


What is the state of equilibrium of a rolling ball?

The state of equilibrium of a rolling ball occurs when the forces acting on it are balanced, resulting in no acceleration. In this state, the ball will continue rolling at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.


Is a ball rolling in a straight line at a constant speed in equilibrium?

Yes. Because it is moving at a constant speed, we know that it is not accelerating (changing its speed). This means that all forces acting on it are balancing each other, so the net force is 0.


When a ball is thrown vertically upward it comes to rest at the top position before falling is the ball in rest and in equilibrium?

Yes, when a ball reaches the top of its trajectory when thrown vertically upward, it is momentarily at rest before gravity pulls it back down. This is a state of dynamic equilibrium because the forces acting on the ball are balanced at that point.


A bowling ball is at rest Another ball rolls down a lane at constant speed Which if either is in equilibrium?

I believe, if I'm not mistaken, they are both at the equilibrium. However, if I had to say one, it's the bowling ball at rast. "Physics. The state of a body or physical system at rest or in unaccelerated motion in which the resultant of all forces acting on it is zero and the sum of all torques about any axis is zero." -- Answers.com

A ball thrown straight up has zero velocity at its highest point Is the ball in equilibrium at this point?

Yes, the ball is in equilibrium at its highest point because its acceleration is zero at that point. The forces acting on the ball (gravity and air resistance) are balanced, resulting in a net force of zero.


What is rest position or equilibrium position?

Rest position or equilibrium position occurs when all the forces (gravity, the wind, friction etc) exerted on an object are equal.For example, a rolling ball is not in equilibrium because one or more forces (gravity or the force you used to initially move the ball) are greater in strength than the friction (both between the ball and the surface it is rolling on and between the ball and the air).The ball will stop rolling when the force causing it to move 'forwards' is overcome by frictional force. The ball will then be in equilibrium, or at rest.

Why does a ball leak air even when it has a tiny hole?

Because the pressure inside the ball is greater then outside the ball. When you poke even a small hole in a ball you connect the ball and the outer surroundings (air) into one system. That system them tries to get toward equilibrium where the pressure is the same in the ball and its surroundings.

What happens to the gas particles when the air in an inflated ball leaks out?

the gas comes out with pressure and the ball flattens.The gas so released mixes with the atmosphere to maintain balance or equilibrium
