What is two or more forces whose effects do not equal zero and do change the motion of an object?

Those are an unbalanced set of forces. (Note: The forces aren't unbalanced. The set of them is.)


When forces are balanced compare the acceleration of an object at rest and an object in motion?

An object at rest has zero acceleration. If the set of forces acting on a moving object is balanced, then the moving object also has zero acceleration.


Balance forces have what affect on an objects motion?

"Balanced forces" means a set of forces that add up to zero.This group of forces acting on a single object have no effect on its motion, because they add up to zero,and their effect is equivalent to zero force on the object.


What does Frictional forces?

Frictional force resists movement. In order to set an object into motion (or accelerate an already moving object), the force of friction must be overcome.


Can a force set a motionless object in motion?

Force is the only thing that can set a motionless object in motion.


Forces are needed to set objects in?

motion.


Can forces change an objects direction?

If I am reading your question correctly, you want to now if balanced forces can change the direction an object is traveling. The answer is no. Balanced forces always produce no net change, hence the term "balanced". You need an unbalanced force to change the direction of an object, or to set an object in motion from a standstill.


What is required to set an object into motion?

A force.


Can a force set a motionless force in motion?

Force is the only thing that can set a motionless object in motion.


Balance force can change an object's direction?

false


The of an object tends to make the object resist beng set into motion?

Inertia.


If two equal forces act on an object in opposite directions the net force will be balanced?

Equal means the forces are of equal magnitude. And they act exactly in opposite directions. Then certainly the resultant effect will be zero. So we say that the forces are set in balanced condition. Hence balanced.
