Question
If an object is in equilibrium, which of the following statements is not true? 2 pointsThe object must be at rest.There are at least two forces acting on the object.The acceleration of the object is zero.The net force acting on the object is zero.The speed of the object remains constant.
Solution
The statement that is not true if an object is in equilibrium is: "The object must be at rest."
This is because an object in equilibrium can be either at rest or moving with a constant velocity. Equilibrium simply means that the net force acting on the object is zero, which results in no acceleration. This can occur both when the object is at rest and when it is moving at a constant speed in a straight line (also known as uniform motion).
