Why Do Objects in Dynamic Equilibrium Continue Moving?

AI Thread Summary
Objects in dynamic equilibrium continue moving due to the balance of forces acting on them, not just gravity. In this state, multiple forces are at play, allowing for constant motion without acceleration. Changes in external conditions can disrupt this equilibrium, affecting the object's movement. The principle of inertia explains that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Understanding these concepts clarifies why moving objects maintain their velocity in dynamic equilibrium.

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?
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'Raman Spectroscopy help'

I am attempting to use a Raman TruScan with a 785 nm laser to read a material for identification purposes. The material causes too much fluorescence and doesn’t not produce a good signal. However another lab is able to produce a good signal consistently using the same Raman model and sample material. What would be the reason for the different results between instruments?
