(Translational) Condition in which the net force on an object is zero (Rotational) Condition in which the net torque on an object is zero
a state of balance in a closed system at constant temperature, in which no macroscopic properties change, because the rate of the forward reaction has become equal to the rate of the reverse reaction
a sensory system located in structures of the inner ear that registers the orientation of the head a stable situation in which forces cancel one another
The state of a reaction in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are the same
a situation in which there are no inherent forces that produce change Changes away from an equilibrium position occur only as a result of "outside events" that disturb the status quo (Baumol et al , 1988) (S4, III 2) chinese | russian
A condition that exists in a system when the phases of the system do not undergo any change of properties with the passage of time; the state in which the action of multiple forces produces a steady balance, resulting in no change overall, over time
A macroscopic state which does not tend to change in time, except for random fluctuations An isolated system is said to be in equilibrium if the probability of finding the system in one of its accessible states is independent of time (The mean values of all macroscopic parameters of the system are then independent of time )
