What is an equilibrant?
(Points : 1)
an object that has zero net force acting on it
two chemical reactions proceeding at the same rate in opposite directions
a force that makes the net force on an object zero
a force in the same direction as the net force <--
Question 2. 2. How is the equilibrant related to the net force?
(Points : 1)
It is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
It is equal in magnitude and acts in the same direction.<--
It is always smaller in magnitude than the net force.
It is always larger in magnitude than the net force.
Question 3. 3. Which of these statements is always true?
(Points : 1)
If an object is moving, a net force is acting on it.
An object in equilibrium must not be in motion.
A moving object in equilibrium continues at a constant velocity.<--
A moving object in equilibrium can change its direction but not its speed.
Question 4. 4. This handbag exerts a force of 10 N on the hook. Which of the following values is a possible tension for each side of the cloth loop on the handbag? Each side of the loop exerts a vertical force only, not a horizontal force, on the rest of the handbag.
