question 16 of 25
a jar of quarters sits on a table with zero velocity. there are two forces acting on the jar. what is this situation called?
a. dynamic equilibrium
b. inertia equilibrium
c. static equilibrium
d. force equilibrium
Static equilibrium occurs when an object is at rest (has zero velocity) and the net force acting on it is zero. Here, the jar of quarters is at rest on the table with two forces acting on it, which fits the definition of static equilibrium. Dynamic equilibrium is for objects in motion with constant velocity. Inertia is a property of matter and not a type of equilibrium by itself. "Force equilibrium" is a more general - not a standard term for this specific situation.
