Can a body in linear motion be in equilibrium?

Answered by admin @



Yes! Such an equilibrium situation is called dynamic equilibrium .

A body is said to be in equilibrium if the net force acting on the body is zero. By Newton's second law, the acceleration of such objects will be zero. Zero acceleration implies a constant velocity. Constant velocity also includes zero velocity as a special case. So an object in equilibrium can either have zero velocity or a constant non-zero velocity.
