EQUILIBRIUM PROJECT

CAR AT REST AT A STOP SIGN.

• Force of gravity pulling the car toward ear this balanced by the road pushing up at the car.
• It would move and not be at rest anymore.

CAR MOVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED

• A car going at a constant speed since the force of friction is balanced by the force from the cars engine.
• It would either speed up or slow down.

TWO OBJECTS AT EQUAL TEMPERATURES.

• When cooled to room temperature it is said to attain thermal equilibrium with the room since the amount of heat lost by coffee to the environment balances the about of heat gained coffee from the environment.
• It would either get warmer or colder.
