Answer 1

The correct statement that defines dynamic equilibrium is:

Forces acting on an object are balanced and the object stays in motion.

Dynamic equilibrium refers to a situation where an object is moving at a constant velocity because the forces acting upon it are in equilibrium, meaning that the sum of all forces is zero, resulting in no change in the object's velocity. This is in accordance with Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force.
