Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton’s Third Law of Motion, it is practically impossible to push harder on an object than it pushes back on you because for every action, there's an equal but opposite reaction.

In order to get an object moving (motion), the net force exerted on the object must be greater. Thus, the force acting on an object in motion is not balanced.

Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.

Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;


Fnet = Fapp + Fg

Where;

Fnet is the net force.

Fapp is the applied force.

Fg is the force due to gravitation.
