When an object is speeding up through the air are the forces of thrust and drag balanced?

No. This is because the object is speeding up, therefore more force must be acting on one side than on the other. However, if the object was moving at a constant speed or was stationary, then the forces would be balanced.

How can you tell visually if the forces on an object are balanced?
If the object is not moving, or is traveling at a constant velocity, all forces acting on the object are equal and opposite to each other. If the object is accelerating (speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction) the forces are not balanced.
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.
When several forces act on an object and the object does not move can the forces be balanced?
If the object doesn't move, the forces HAVE TO be balanced. There is no other way.
Compare how balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object at rest?
balanced forces don't move an object, but unbalanced forces on an object do move
How do balanced forces affect an object that is at rest?
Not at all. The object is at rest only because the forces are balanced.

When forces are not balanced an object are balanced?
In that case, the object will accelerate.

balanced forces don't move an object, but unbalanced forces on an object do move
How do balanced forces and unbalanced forces differ?
* 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.
How do balanced forces affect an object that is at rest?
Not at all. The object is at rest only because the forces are balanced.
Why does terminal velocity exist?
When an object is falling, it accelerates, so it is speeding up. The faster it goes, the more air resistance there is on the object. Eventually, the force of the air resistance pushing up on the object will equal the force of gravity pushing down on the object. The forces on the object are balanced (they cancel out), so it will have no acceleration. This causes terminal velocity; the object is not speeding up anymore. When the forces on an object are balanced, it has no acceleration. This does not mean it has no velocity, it just means that the velocity is not changing (it does not speed up or slow down.)
What motion does an object have if all forces are balanced?
If all forces of an object are balanced, then the motion of the object will remain the same. For instance, if all forces are balanced and if the object is moving, then it will continue to move. If it's still, it will remain still.
If there are two equal and opposite forces on something you say the forces are?
If the forces are balanced they will have no action or the object, if not they will accelerate the object in the resultant direction of the two forces..
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.
