Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A 15 kg object is in equilibrium. What is the net force acting on it?
Correct Answer: 0 N
  • Step 1: Understand what equilibrium means. An object is in equilibrium when all the forces acting on it are balanced.
  • Step 2: Recognize that if the object is in equilibrium, the net force (the total force) acting on it must be zero.
  • Step 3: Conclude that since the object is in equilibrium, the net force acting on the 15 kg object is 0 N.
  • Equilibrium – In physics, an object is in equilibrium when the sum of the forces acting on it is zero, meaning there is no net force.
