Can a body in linear motion be in equilibrium
Answers
A body is said to be in equilibrium if the net force acting on the body is zero. ... So an object in equilibrium can either have zero velocity or a constant non-zero velocity. Static Equilibrium : When the net force acting on an object is zero and if the object is not moving, then it is called static equilibrium.
The statement stands possible as the body in linear motion can be in equilibrium as there are two types of equilibrium, of which body will acquire dynamic equilibrium while in linear motion.
This is because of the fact that in linear motion, the condition being implied that when no external force acts on the body, the body be in linear motion with constant and uniform velocity with a non zero value implies no net force and no acceleration so the body will be in dynamic equilibrium.
