Question

complete the sentences to describe the difference between static and dynamic equilibrium. an object in equilibrium has a net force of 1. static equilibrium describes an object at having equal and balanced forces acting upon it. dynamic equilibrium describes an object in having equal and balanced forces acting upon it.

Explanation:

1. For the first blank: By the definition of equilibrium (in physics, a subfield of Natural Science), an object in equilibrium has a net force of zero because the sum of all forces acting on it cancels out.
2. For the second blank: Static equilibrium is defined as a state where an object is at rest (not moving), so the object is at rest.
3. For the third blank: Dynamic equilibrium is when an object is moving with a constant velocity (so it's in motion), as the forces are balanced, leading to no acceleration (Newton's first law), so the object is in motion (or moving at constant velocity).

Answer:

First blank: \( 0 \) (zero)
Second blank: rest
Third blank: motion (or constant - velocity motion)
