s it possible to have motion in the absence of a force? Is it possible to have force in the absence of motion |
Answer» <p>Yes, it is possible to have motion in the absence of force. An object moving with a constant velocity has zero net external force on it, but it still remains in motion.</p><p>Also, it is possible to have force in absence of motion. Statics is the study of forces in systems in equilibrium--i.e., that have no motion.</p><p>Here are some sub-fields in increasing order of complexity:</p><p>Statics of particlesStatics of rigid bodiesStatics of fluidsStatics of deformable solids--further divided into 'strength of materials' and theory of elasticity and theory of plasticity </p> | |
