Key Stage 3
Meaning
When an elastic object is acted on by two opposing forces, the object is in Equilibrium.
About Force Equilibrium
- Elastic objects like springs need two opposing forces to change length. Once the forces have been applied the spring will stay at this new length until the forces are removed.
 |
| The spring will stretch to a certain length and then stay the same due to two opposing forces. |
- If one force were bigger than the other the elastic object would accelerate rather than stretch.
