Two forces may not balance each other if they are acting in different directions or have different magnitudes. When forces are not equal and opposite, they result in acceleration or movement of the object in the direction of the greater force.
When forces are of equal size and opposite direction, they are in a state of equilibrium, meaning they balance each other out and there is no change in motion.
Two forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called balanced forces.
Actually, forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called balanced forces. Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal in size and/or opposite in direction, resulting in a change in an object's motion.
When equal forces act on an object in opposite directions, they create a state of balance known as equilibrium. This means that the object will not accelerate in any particular direction, but remain stationary or move at a constant velocity.
