Question
If a body is moving on a horizontal table with constant velocity, then equilibrium is:(a) stable(b) unstable(c) neutral(d) none of these
Step 1
Step 1: Identify forces and equilibrium condition — on a horizontal table gravity is balanced by the normal reaction, and if the body moves with constant velocity the net horizontal force is zero (Newton's first law), so the body is in equilibrium. Show more…
