Answer 1

According to Newton's First Law of Motion, an object is in equilibrium when it is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity, which means there is no net force acting on it.

The correct answer is:

A car moving at a constant speed on a straight road.

This scenario describes an object that is not accelerating, and thus meets the criteria for equilibrium according to Newton's First Law.
