Which of following descriptions COULD be true of an object that is at equilibrium or in balanced forces? Select the three true that apply.
The object is moving.
The object is at rest.
The object is slowing down.
The object is changing its velocity.
The object is accelerating
The object is moving with a constant velocity.
The object is moving in a circle at a constant speed.
A person stands on the ball of one foot. The normal force due to the ground pushing
up on the ball of the foot has magnitude 750 N. Ignore the weight of the foot itself.
The other significant forces acting on the foot are the tension in the Achilles tendon
pulling up and the force of the tibia pushing down on the ankle joint.
Gastrocnemius-
soleus muscles
FAchilles
Achilles tendon-
Calcaneus
(heel bone)
Tibia

If the tension in the Achilles tendon is 2234 N, what is the force exerted on the foot
by the tibia? If the force is upward, enter a positive value. If the force is downward,
enter a negative value.
Two blocks each weighing 25 N are connected to the ends of a light string which is passed over a pulley. As the blocks hang vertically from the pulley, the tension in the string is
