HELP PLEASEEEE!
Which statement describes dynamic equilibrium?
A. The forces on a stationary object are balanced.
B.The forces on an object are unbalanced.
C.The forces on an object in motion are balanced.
D. An object is accelerating due to forces acting on it.

i want to say that the answer is C but im not entirely sure, then theres Velocity and Acceleration throwing me off so im not sure which is which... i understand what dynamic equilibrium is.

no so if an object is accelerating the forces are not balanced however an object can be in motion with forces acting upon it balanced... it just cannot be accelerating or decelerating. This is commonly seen with airplanes in flight once they hit their cruise speed. You are correct with C as the answer.
