If the two forces working on an object are equal in size AND oppositely directed then the net force is zero. The object will travel in a straight line, thus it will be uniform motion.

Friction forces.


What are three forces that affect the motion of an object are?

Forces can be divided into pushes, pulls and twists. I'm not sure if that is the type of answer you were looking for though. A range of different forces can affect the motion of objects depending on the circumstances e.g. thrust, lift, air resistance, water resistance etc


What type of change can the balanced forces bring about in an object?

Balanced forces do not bring about any change in motion. If forces are balanced, an object is either at rest, or moving in a straight line at constant velocity.


The characteristics of unbalanced force and balanced force?

When equal and opposite forces act on an object, the object does not change its state of rest or motion. These forces are called balanced forces. When unequal forces act on an object, the object changes its state of rest or motion. Such forces are called unbalanced forces.


What type of motion can be produced by balanced forces?

According to Newton's laws of motion, a body at rest remains at rest and a body in motion remains in uniform motion unless it is acted upon by a force. This law is also known as the law of Inertia. If the forces are balanced, then there is no net force acting on the body and so it cannot produce any motion. It can only allow pre-existing motion to continue.
