Static and Dynamic Equilibrium!
What is the difference between static equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium?
What is the difference between static equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium?
Cyclovenom said:Well, Mechanical equilibrium exist when Newton's 1st Law is true on our system of interest. Just remember that the first law mentions constant velocity, it could be 0 or not.
Static equilibrium is a state of balance where all the forces acting on an object are equal and opposite, resulting in no net change in motion or position.
Dynamic equilibrium is a state of balance where an object is moving at a constant velocity, with all the forces acting on it being balanced.
The main difference between static and dynamic equilibrium is that in static equilibrium, the object is at rest, while in dynamic equilibrium, the object is moving at a constant velocity.
Factors that can affect static and dynamic equilibrium include the magnitude and direction of the forces acting on the object, the mass and shape of the object, and the presence of external forces such as friction or air resistance.
An object is in static equilibrium if it is at rest and the net force acting on it is zero. An object is in dynamic equilibrium if it is moving at a constant velocity and the net force acting on it is also zero.
