Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of a body is proportional to the net external force that acts on the body.

A body accelerated when it is acted upon by an unbalanced net external force.

When the external forces acting on a body are balanced, the effect of each force is cancelled by the other hence the body is not accelerated according to Newton's second law.
