When there are equal forces from opposite directions acting on an object, the forces are said to be which of the following? (4 points)

A) Positive

B) Negative

C) Balanced

Answer 2

when there are equal forces, there is no resultant force so therefore the object does not accelerate. Instead, it either stays at a constant speed, or is stationary. The pair's of these forces are:
Thrust and Friction
Gravity and lift/ normal force
