2.4 Equilibrium for Moving Objects

 Objects at rest are said to be in static equilibrium;  Objects moving at constant speed in a straight-line path are said to be in dynamic equilibrium.

 The state of rest is only one form of equilibrium.  An object moving at constant speed in a straight-line path is also in a state of equilibrium.  Once in motion, if there is no net force to change the state of motion, it is in equilibrium.

An object under the influence of only one force cannot be in equilibrium. Only when there is no force at all, or when two or more forces combine to zero, can an object be in equilibrium.

When the push on the desk is the same as the force of friction between the desk and the floor, the net force is zero and the desk slides at an unchanging speed.

If the desk moves steadily at constant speed, without change in its motion, it is in equilibrium. Friction is a contact force between objects that slide or tend to slide against each other. In this case,  F = 0 means that the force of friction is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the pushing force.

think! An airplane flies horizontally at constant speed in a straight-line direction. Its state of motion is unchanging. In other words, it is in equilibrium. Two horizontal forces act on the plane. One is the thrust of the propeller that pulls it forward. The other is the force of air resistance (air friction) that acts in the opposite direction. Which force is greater?

Answer: Neither, for both forces have the same strength. Call the thrust positive. Then the air resistance is negative. Since the plane is in equilibrium, the two forces combine to equal zero. 2.4 Equilibrium for Moving Objects
