Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. This worksheet will test your understanding of static equilibrium and forces.

1. Static equilibrium occurs when an object is at and the net force acting on it is .

2. A is a push or a pull on an object.

3. For an object to be in static equilibrium, the forces acting on it must be .

1. Which of the following objects is in static equilibrium?

A car speeding up

A book resting on a table

A ball rolling down a hill

A swing in motion

2. If a seesaw is perfectly balanced, what can you say about the forces on both sides?

The forces are unequal.

The forces are balanced.

There are no forces acting.

Only gravity is acting.

1. Describe an example of static equilibrium you observe in your daily life.

1. An object in static equilibrium is always moving at a constant speed.

True

False

2. If all forces on an object are balanced, the object will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity.

True

False

Observe the image of the triple beam balance. If the balance is level, what does this tell you about the mass on each side?
