Question

use the drop-down menus and complete the sentences to describe the difference between static and dynamic equilibrium. an object in equilibrium has a net force of dropdown static equilibrium describes an object at dropdown having equal and balanced forces acting upon it. dynamic equilibrium describes an object in dropdown having equal and balanced forces acting upon it.

Explanation:

1. For the first blank: By the definition of equilibrium (in physics, which is part of Natural Science, specifically Physics), an object in equilibrium has a net force of \( 0 \) (zero) because the sum of all forces acting on it is balanced.
2. For the second blank: Static equilibrium is defined as a state where an object is at rest (not moving), so the object is at "rest".
3. For the third blank: Dynamic equilibrium is when an object is moving with a constant velocity (so it's in motion), meaning the object is in "motion" (or "constant velocity motion") as the forces are balanced, allowing it to move without acceleration.

Answer:

• First drop - down: \( 0 \) (zero)
• Second drop - down: rest
• Third drop - down: motion (or constant velocity motion)
