The object does not accelerate.
When an object is at rest or moving at a constant velocity, it indicates that the forces acting on the object are balanced. This is because the net force on the object is zero in both of these conditions.
Balanced forces acting on an object do not change the object's position.
The object experiences no acceleration. That is, neither its speed nor the direction of its motion changes. That is, its velocity remains constant.
You say that the two forces are in equilibrium.
In that case, the object will accelerate.
When an object changes direction, the forces acting on the object are typically unbalanced. This change in direction indicates that there is a net force acting on the object, causing it to accelerate or decelerate in the new direction. Balanced forces would result in a constant velocity without any change in direction.
* Balanced: The vector sum of all forces on an object is zero. The object does not accelerate.* Unbalanced: The vector sum of all forces on an object is NOT zero, the object DOES accelerate.
False. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's velocity. When forces are balanced, there is no change in the object's velocity as there is no net force acting on the object.
No, balanced forces do not change an object's motion. When balanced forces act on an object, the object will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity.
If the net force is zero, then the forces are balanced. If the net force is not zero, then the forces are not balanced. You can have a balanced pair of forces, but not a pair of balanced forces.
An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.
Not at all. The object is at rest only because the forces are balanced.
