Are unbalanced forces equal in size and opposite in direction?
Two forces equal in size and opposite in direction are balanced, not unbalanced, because they cancel each other out. Any set of forces which has a resultant of zero is said to be balanced.
What are forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction?
An example would be a book placed on a table. The book's weight is acting perpendicular to the table and the reaction of the table on the book is also acting perpendicular to the table, but both thse forces are opposite in direction and equal in magnitude, the reasons the book and the table are satble and in equilibrium
What is it called when two forces go in the opposite direction?
If the forces are equal then the net force is 0. If one force is greater than the other than whatever is having the two forces exerted on it will move in the direction of the greater force's direction. The total force will equal the greater force - lesser force. You can draw it in vectors to help visualize. e.g. F1 <------------------*-------> F2 let's say F1 = 5 newtons and F2 = 2 newtons. The combined force would equal 3 newtons going <- direction.
When the net force acting on an object is greater than zero the forces are?
"unbalanced"
Is there gold everywhere?
Yes there is gold on every continent and in the ocean as well. It is said to be the result of meteors hitting the earth and most gold is said to be close to the earth's core.
What are the forces that result in no change in an objects. Motion?
Forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction and acting on the same object will not create a change in said objects motion.
Are unbalanced forces equal in size and opposite in direction?
Two forces equal in size and opposite in direction are balanced, not unbalanced, because they cancel each other out. Any set of forces which has a resultant of zero is said to be balanced.
Can an object be at be at rest if forces are being applied to it?
Yes, if the forces are equal and acting in opposite directions, the net force will equal zero and that object can be said to be at rest.
What forces are forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction?
Do you mean buoyancy? They are said to be balanced, because their net sum, or resultant, is zero.
What must forces in each direction be doing to be in equilibrum?
As Newton said, they must be equal and opposite and collinear.
What are the Forces that result in no change in an object's motion?
Forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction and acting on the same object will not create a change in said objects motion.
What are forces that are equal and in opposite direction?
Do you mean buoyancy? They are said to be balanced, because their net sum, or resultant, is zero.
What forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction?

What are Forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction?
Do you mean buoyancy? They are said to be balanced, because their net sum, or resultant, is zero.
What is equilibrant forces?
The force is said to be "equilibrant" when acting with other forces it would keep the body at rest ie in equilibrium. Hence equilibrant would be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the resultant of all the forces acting on the body.
How do unbalanced forces differ?
Differ... from what?Forces (acting on an object) are said to be BALANCED if the sum (i.e., the vector sum) of all such forces are equal to zero; UNBALANCED otherwise. Such an unbalanced force will result in an acceleration of the object.
What is it Called when equal forces act on one object in opposite direction?
In that case, the vector sum of the forces is zero; the forces are said to be balanced. You can also get balanced forces with more than two forces, for example, three forces of the same magnitude at an angle of 120 degrees to one another.
