Well, that's a pretty broad question with many many many answers. Pretty much anytime you see something where nothing is happening, there are balanced forces at work. A book on a table, for example: The table is pushing up on the book with the same amount of force that the book is pushing down on the table. However, sometimes even when it appears that something IS happening, balanced forces can be found. For example, an airplane, in level flight (neither climbing nor decending) and is neither accelerating nor decelerating has 2 obvious pairs of balanced forces: Gravity and Lift are in balance, since the plane is neither ascending nor descending, and thrust and drag are in balance since it's neither accelerating nor decelerating.

What can you say about the forces acting on a stationary object?
The forces acting on a stationary object are balanced. If you were to add up all the forces (taking the directions into account, you would get a total of 0. There are always forces acting on a object, such as gravity, so you cannot say that there are no forces acting on it. You can say that the forces are balanced.
When all forces acting on an object are balanced what does th object do?
Nothing.
Balancing the forces acting on an object give you the net force?
If the forces acting on an object are perfectly balanced, the resulting net force is equal to zero.
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.
When the net force is zero the forces acting on an object are?
They are either non-existent or else balanced.
Are any the forces acting on the freezer balanced?
are any the forces acting on the freezer balanced
If balanced forces are acting on an object it will seem as if a net force is acting on the object?
If the forces are balanced this means that there is no net force acting
Balanced forces acting on an object do not change the object's what?
Balanced forces acting on an object do not change the object's position.
What are the similarities between balanced and unbalanced 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.
What are the between balanced force and unbalanced force?
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.
Are the forces acting on the weight lifter and the weights balanced or unbalanced?
the forces acting on the weight lifter and the weights are balanced because the forces are not moving or changing direction.
How do balanced forces acting on an object affect its motion. How do unbalanced forces acting on an object affect its motion?
Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).
How do balanced forces acting on objects affect its motion?
When the forces acting on an object are balanced, they cancel each other out and the result is no change in its motion.Balanced forces have no effect on motion. Unbalanced forces cause acceleration.
What is the net force on an object that is acted on by balanced forces?
If all forces acting on the object are balanced (equal), the net force acting on the object is zero.
Are 2 forces going in the same direction balanced?
No, they are not. The forces are balanced only when forces of equal magnitude are acting in the opposite direction.
What can you say about the forces acting on a stationary object?
The forces acting on a stationary object are balanced. If you were to add up all the forces (taking the directions into account, you would get a total of 0. There are always forces acting on a object, such as gravity, so you cannot say that there are no forces acting on it. You can say that the forces are balanced.
Are there any balanced forces acting on the freezer?
yes
