What is an equilibrant?

(Points : 1)
an object that has zero net force acting on it

two chemical reactions proceeding at the same rate in opposite directions

a force that makes the net force on an object zero

a force in the same direction as the net force

Question 2. 2. How is the equilibrant related to the net force?
(Points : 1)
It is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

It is equal in magnitude and acts in the same direction.

It is always smaller in magnitude than the net force.

It is always larger in magnitude than the net force.

Question 3. 3. Which of these statements is always true?
(Points : 1)
If an object is moving, a net force is acting on it.

An object in equilibrium must not be in motion.

A moving object in equilibrium continues at a constant velocity.

A moving object in equilibrium can change its direction but not its speed.

- a force that makes the net force on an object zero

- It is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction
- A moving object in equilibrium continues at a constant velocity.

1. A force that makes the net force on an object zero.

2. It is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
3. An moving object in equilibrium continues at a constant velocity.

An equilibrant is a force that makes the net force on an object zero.

The equilibrant is related to the net force in that it is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

The statement that is always true is "If an object is moving, a net force is acting on it."

Question 1: An equilibrant is a force that makes the net force on an object zero.

To understand this concept, it is important to know what net force is. Net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object. If the net force on an object is zero, it means all the forces are balanced and the object is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity. So, an equilibrant is a force that is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the net force, resulting in a net force of zero. Therefore, the correct answer is: a force that makes the net force on an object zero.

Question 2: The equilibrant is related to the net force in that it is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
As mentioned earlier, the equilibrant is a force that balances out the net force and makes it zero. To achieve this balance, the equilibrant force must have the same magnitude as the net force. However, it acts in the opposite direction to cancel out the effects of the net force. Therefore, the correct answer is: It is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Question 3: If an object is moving, a net force is acting on it.
This statement is always true. According to Newton's first law of motion (also known as the law of inertia), an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force. Therefore, if an object is moving, it means there is a net force acting on it to keep it in motion. So, the correct answer is: If an object is moving, a net force is acting on it.
