Balanced forces, by definition, have a net force of zero. That is, they are forces acting on an object which counteract each other, resulting in zero movement for the object in question.
Balanced forces acting on an object do not change the object's position.
Yes, the object can have equal forces acting in opposite directions: 5N ->[]<- 5N The object will have forces acting upon it, but will not move.
net force
Net
Net force is the sum of all the forces acting upon an object.
Net force is a combination of all the foces acting on an object.If two forces are acting in the same direction you add the forces to calculate the net force
When the forces are balanced, the net force is zero, by definition. "Net force" refers to the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object.

When the net forces acting on an object sum to zero then the object's acceleration is zero.
If no unbalanced force operates on an object its motion will be constant.
If the forces are balanced this means that there is no net force acting
