No, they are not. The forces are balanced only when forces of equal magnitude are acting in the opposite direction.
Forces are vector quantities. This means they have both a magnitude and direction associated with them. If you add vectors going in the opposite directions it is the same as subtracting one from the other. Therefore, the resultant force is the difference between the forces.
against motion For example, if I push a box to the left, kinetic friction is going to the left.
Negative velocity usually means going in the opposite direction (i.e. reverse or backwards).
Friction always acts in the direction opposite to the the motion of the object.For example, if a bowling ball rolls to the right, friction would act to the left.Without friction, if you threw a ball, it would keep going forever. Friction slows objects down.
Pressure going in the opposite direction in which it should be going.
"Deceleration" is a decrease in speed, however you are still going in the SAME direction so it is POSITIVE. "Retardation" is going in the OPPOSITE direction, therefore it is NEGATIVE.
No, they are not. The forces are balanced only when forces of equal magnitude are acting in the opposite direction.
The opposite (perpendicular direction) of horizontal is vertical, (horizontal going across and vertical going from up to down.
The 'speed' of a body cannot be negative. But if you are stating the 'velocity' then it can be negative. Negative velocity means it is going opposite to the direction that you decided to call the positive direction.
The "bull market" is generally defined as a market that is going up. It's opposite, a "bear market", is defined as a market that is going in the opposite direction, i.e. down.
Walk up to the wheel and press e, you should see arrows going in the opposite direction if done correctly.
You add them together. If there is no other force in the opposite direction it is also recognized as zero.

They were going the opposite direction.
Velocity is a vector and its magnitude depends on the direction. If it is positive in one direction, going in the opposite direction it is negative. But speed is a scalar and does not depend on the direction. It has the same value, whatever the direction. That is how the absolute value of velocity is speed.
No. Velocity is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. If the velocity of your car was heading in the positive direction, then the other car is moving in the negative direction. The velocities are NOT the same!
