Question

True or false

Equal forces acting on one object in opposite directions are called balanced forces

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Forces, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, and cancel each other out are called Balanced Forces.

Balanced Forces DO NOT cause any change in the velocity of the object, but the Object may correspond to a change in shape or size.

Example :

Blasting a balloon by compressing it tightly with both hands, roughly with an equal force, is a practical example of Balanced Forces. In this case, the balloon before the burst stays at a state of rest and same after the burst. But the burst or the compression, causes a change in the shape of the balloon.
