In business (and life in general), many aspects are viewed as "zero-sum". In other words, there is a winner and a loser. However, in reality, business (and life) is not a zero-sum game. There are many situations that end up benefitting all parties in the long-run. For example, specialization is a great example of a "non-zero-sum game". Take the case of 2 farmers who eat only potatoes and meat. One farmer specializes in growing potatoes, which allows them to grow more potatoes and trade with the farmer who herds cattle (but no potatoes). Both sides are able to grow more food by specializing in just one area, and they are able to trade between each other so that both of them have enough potatoes and meat for their families. The extra meat and potatoes received by specializing can be sold in order to give extra benefits to one (or both) party. Hope this helps - I know it's not the best explanation but.......
No. A zero-sum game is a game in which players deal only with each other, and there is no way to gain "resources" outside of that. There are squares such as "Chance", "Community Chest", Go, (and in some house-rules games, Free Parking) which give the player money. Obviously, this money does not come from another player, and is instead "created" on demand. This is what makes Monopoly a non-zero-sum game.

The two conditions of equilibrium are: 1. Concurrent Equilibrium the sum of vector forces through a point is zero. 2. Coplanar equilibrium, the sum of forces in a plane is zero and the sum of the torques around the axis of the plane is zero. These two conditions are similar to Ohms Laws in Electricity: Ohms Node Law the sum of the currents at a node is zero and Ohms Voltage law, the sum of the voltages around a loop is zero. These equilibrium conditions reflect the Quaternion mathematics that controls physics. Quaternions consist of a scalar or real number and three vector numbers. Equilibrium is the Homogeneous condition of a quaternion equation: the sum of the scalars or real numbers must be zero AND the sum of the vector numbers must also be zero. Thus there are TWO Conditions for Equilibrium. However if we were to use quaternions as nature does, then Equilibrium would be simplified to the zero quaternion condition.
The forces sum to zero or are balanced. This condition is the Conservation of Energy.
True
That means that the sum of all the forces on an object, that is to say the vector sum, results in a force that is not zero. The forces are not balanced. In this case, the object will accelerate (its velocity will change).
That the forces sum to a non-zero resultant.

No. For equilibrium, the SUM OF ALL FORCES acting on an object must be zero, and that is not possible with a single (non-zero) force.Note: For equilibrium, the sum of all torques on an object must ALSO be zero.
When the object's speed changes, in either direction, there is non-zero acceleration present, and the sum of all the forces on the object is also non-zero.

It is zero.
No, the product is, but not the sum. 0 + 2 = 2
You cannot. The sum and difference cannot be the same for any pair of non-zero numbers.

Non-examples of additive inverses include pairs of numbers that do not sum to zero. For instance, (2, 3) and (-1, 4) are non-examples because their sums are 5 and 3, respectively. Additionally, any number paired with itself, such as (5, 5), is not an additive inverse since their sum is 10, not zero.
