Want this question answered?
are any the forces acting on the freezer balanced
yes
If there are any forces acting on a stationary object, then they must be balanced, or it would no longer remain stationary.It is also possible that the object is already moving. In the forces are balanced on a moving object, the object would continue moving at the same speed and direction (velocity) that it already had.
when the system is at equilibrium or when you are not moving in any direction at all
If all the forces acting on a body are balanced, i.e. sum to zero, they cannot bring about a change in its state of motion.

yes
Either there are none, or if there are any, then the whole group of forces is balanced.
This is called balanced forces and no acceleration is present.

No. An object that has no net force on it will simply not be accelerating. It can be in motion, but it can not have any change in its velocity.
The resultant force of a number of balanced forces acting on a body is zero force. The reason is because any force in one direction is always canceled out by another equal force but in the opposite direction. This is what is meant by balanced forces. For every force in the positive direction, there is also an equal negative force in the negative direction. So the forces all add up to Zero. No net force at all.
The net force on any object is the vector sum of all the forces acting on it, whether they are balanced or not. In the case of unbalanced forces, the net force will be non-zero.
If a car (or any object, for that matter) accelerates, that is, if it velocity changes, then there are unbalanced forces. If the object doesn't accelerate - for example, if it remains on the spot - then the forces are balanced.
The forces acting on a stationary object are balanced. If you were to add up all the forces (taking the directions into account, you would get a total of 0. There are always forces acting on a object, such as gravity, so you cannot say that there are no forces acting on it. You can say that the forces are balanced.
