Question

Draw a speed vs time graph for static equilibrium balanced forces

Answer 1

For static equilibrium (object at rest with balanced forces) the speed stays zero for all time. The speed vs. time graph is therefore a horizontal line at speed = 0.

ASCII sketch:

Speed (m/s)
^

|____________________________ ← speed = 0 (static equilibrium)
|
+----------------------------------> Time (s)

Notes:
- The horizontal line at 0 means speed does not change (slope = 0), so acceleration = 0.
- Area under the speed–time curve = distance traveled; here it is zero because speed = 0.
- If forces are balanced but the object was already moving (dynamic equilibrium), the graph would be a horizontal line at some constant positive speed instead of at 0.

If you want, I can generate a clean image (PNG) of the graph or a plotted chart with labels.
