It is false. Change of direction is acceleration, which can only be produced by unbalanced forces.

Is it true a balanced forces do not change an objects direction?

Yes, that is correct.


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 the forces that result in no change in an objects motion?

Balanced Forces


Do balanced forces change an objects motion?

No.


How do balanced and unbalanced forces compare?

unbalanced same balanced doesn't = 0 push or pull netforce = 0 change an have direction doesn't change motion objects motion


What are forces that do not cancel out or change an objects motion?

Balanced forces do not change an object's motion.


An unbalanced force will not change an objects motion?

If the forces on an object are unbalanced then the objects motion will change. It will start accelerating in the direction of the resultant force. Only objects that have balanced forces will remain in the same motion (stationary or moving at a constant speed).


What are forces that result in no change in an objects motion?

Forces that result in no change in an object's motion balanced forces.


What are the Forces that result in no change in an object's motion?

Forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction and acting on the same object will not create a change in said objects motion.


What is force that result in no change in an objects motion?

Balanced Forces


What will happen if forces that act on an object are not balanced?

Then the objects will move in the direction of the resultant force.


What do balanced forces cause?

Balanced forces cause stationary objects to remain at rest and moving objects to come to rest. If on exact opposite direction - nothing. Else it will produce a resultant force.
