SUMMARY

Objects in dynamic equilibrium continue to move due to the balance of forces acting upon them, not solely because of gravity. The discussion highlights that equilibrium is maintained when multiple forces are in balance, allowing for constant motion. External factors can alter this balance, affecting the state of dynamic equilibrium. Understanding these principles is crucial for analyzing motion in physics.

PREREQUISITES

What makes objects in dynamic equilibrium move? It can't be gravity because then it would only be one force and if an object is under the influence of one force, then it cannot be in equilibrium. Any help would be appreciated.

Some external things change, and this changes the dynamic equilibrium.
 
what i meant is what is the reason that moving objects continue moving?
