Question

An object is in equilibrium. This means that:
Options
A It must be at rest.
B It is moving with a constant velocity.
C It has a net force acting on it, but it is balanced.
D It is either at rest or moving with constant velocity.
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The lecture defines objects in equilibrium as those either at rest or moving with constant velocity. In both cases, the acceleration is zero, so the net force is zero.

Hint

Equilibrium is about the state of motion, not just being stationary.
