Why are the states of a body at rest and a body moving with constant velocity considered equivalent in terms of net force?

  • A
    Because both have zero acceleration.
  • B
    Because both have zero net force acting on them.
  • C
    Because both have the same inertia.
  • D
    Because both are in a state of equilibrium.

The following forces start acting on a particle at rest at the origin of the coordinate system simultaneously: ${\vec F_1} = -4\hat i - 5\hat j + 5\hat k$,${\vec F_2} = 5\hat i + 8\hat j + 6\hat k$,${\vec F_3} = -3\hat i + 4\hat j - 7\hat k$,and ${\vec F_4} = 2\hat i - 3\hat j - 2\hat k$. The particle will move:

Three forces $\vec{P}, \vec{Q},$ and $\vec{R}$ act at a point in a plane. The angles between $\vec{P}$ and $\vec{Q}$,and $\vec{Q}$ and $\vec{R}$ are $150^{\circ}$ and $120^{\circ}$ respectively. What is the ratio of the magnitudes of the forces $\vec{P}, \vec{Q},$ and $\vec{R}$ if the system is in equilibrium?
