If the forces are balanced, this implies that the net force on the book is 0. Therefore, using Newton's second law, F = ma, F = 0, and since the mass of the book is non-zero, a = 0. This means that the book is not accelerating in the direction of these forces. However, this DOES NOT mean that the book is stationary; it could be travelling at any CONSTANT velocity (since there is no acceleration).

∙ 8y agoWhen a book is at rest, the weight of a book is balanced by the reaction force of a table or the ground where you placed the book. This is according to Newton's third law.

If the net force is zero is the force balanced or unbalanced?
The the forces are unbalanced, that means that the net force is non-zero.
Is thrust a balanced force?
There's no such thing as "a balanced force". A GROUP of two or more forces is balanced if the vector sum of all the forces in the group is zero.
If An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force balanced force normal forces?
If the object accelerates, that means the forces are NOT balanced.
How are balanced force and net force similar?
Net force is a vector sum of all the forces acting on the object. When forces acting on the body are balanced, their vector sum, or net force, is equal to zero.
How do you explain weather the force is balanced or unbalanced?
Forces (plural) are balanced if their vector sum is zero. Since an unbalanced force causes an acceleration, if an object isn't accelerating then the forces on it are balanced.
What is the effect of balanced force to object whose at rest?
A balanced force has no effect on any object.
Balanced and unbalanced forces in space?
In space a balanced force is can be anything without a kinetic effect. A balanced force is gravity because it can have a different effect on one side of an object that the other.
What is the effect of balanced force to object whose already in motion?
A balanced force has no effect on any object: whether it is already in motion or is at rest is not relevant.
What are balanced forces equivalent to?
A balanced group of forces has the same effect as no force at all.
Is a textbook on a table a balanced force or an unbalanced force?
A textbook on a table is an example of balanced forces. The force of gravity pulling the book downward is balanced by the normal force exerted by the table in the upward direction, resulting in the book remaining stationary on the table.
What is a force that effect is offset by other forces so it wont change my motion?
balanced force
How can you use balanced forces in a sentence?
When forces are balanced they cancel each other the effect is like having no force at all
What is an balanced force?
balanced force is when things are balanced.
Can a torque be balanced by a single force?
The effect of a torque is to produce angular acceleration and that of the force is to produce linear acceleration. Since the effects of both torque and force are entirely different, therefore, a torque cannot be balanced by a single force.
If a book is hanging from a rope are the forces balanced or unbalanced and why?
The forces at work are balanced. Gravity is pulling the book (and the rope) down, and the rope exerts an equal and opposite force to keep the book suspended.
when all of the forces on an object cancel one another out the forces are?
When the 'net' force on an object is zero, then either there are no forces acting on it, or else all the forces acting on it are 'balanced', and they have the same effect on it as if there were no force.
Does a balanced force have a net force equal to the largest force?
A balanced force will have a net force that is equal to 0. A balanced force will have an opposing force of equal magnitude of the largest force.
