Question

which of the following best describes a body in equilibrium? a it is moving upright. b all forces acting on a body are balanced. c the force of gravity has been overcome. d no forces are acting on the body. please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Explanation:

A body is in equilibrium when the net force acting on it is zero, which means all the forces acting on the body are balanced. Just moving with uniform velocity (A) doesn't necessarily mean equilibrium if there are unbalanced forces causing acceleration in other directions. Overcoming the force of gravity (C) is not the definition of equilibrium. And it's not that no forces are acting (D), but rather that the forces are balanced.

Answer:

B. All the forces acting on a body are balanced
