When two forces cancel each other, they are called balanced forces. Nothing happens when balanced forces are involved. Motion and anything else relating to force can only happen when there are unbalanced forces involved.
If there are two opposite but unequal forces, then there is a net force. The net force is the difference between the two forces, and it acts in the direction of the strongest force. For example, if there are two people pushing on the same box in opposite directions, and one exerts 10 newtons of force, and the other exerts 15 newtons, then the net force will be 5 newtons, and it will be in the direction of the force applied by the person exerting 15 newtons.

What happens to an object's motion when 2 equal forces act on an object in opposite directions?
Nothing! If the two forces are equal and opposite then they will cancel each other out. What will happen next is described in Newton's First law when it says "An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force". Two equal and opposite forces have the same effect as no force, therefore the object's motion will remain the same as if it had never been acted upon by the two opposite forces.

What are the 4 named forces in physics?
The Fundamental Forces are: 1) The weak nuclear 2) The strong nuclear 3) The electromagnetic 4) The gravitational
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.
Do balanced forces of unequal strengths cancel out each other?
If the forces are balanced, that means they cancel out one another - their vector sum is zero. This can't happen with two forces of unequal magnitude (strength), but it is possible to have three or more forces of unequal magnitude cancel one another; for example (in a one-dimensional example), forces of 3, -2, and -1.
2 balance forces cancel each other out they are in what?
Equilibrium.
When 2 balanced forces cancel each other out they are in what?
Equilibrium.
When 2 forces act in the same direction do the forces cancel each other out?
No. When two forces act in the same direction, they can be added together. It is only when two identical forces act in opposite directions that they cancel each other out.
Can an object be in equilibrium when only one force acts on it?
Mechanical Equilibrium is the state in which 2 or More forces act on an object , and cancel each other out. There has to be an even number of forces for them to cancel each other out. So no, a single force will not achieve mechanical equilibrium.
What happens when 2 balanced forces cancel out on each other?

What is the defonaition for Unbalanced?
balanced means that the resultant would be 0 (i.e the 2 (or more) forces cancel each other out) unbalanced means that the resultant force is NOT 0
What happens when 2 forces act in same direction?
according to vector addition: i: if the forces are equal then they will cancel each other and body will be in equilibrium. ii: if they are not equal then they will produce a net force in particular direction.
What is the definition for unbalanced force?
When 2 forces are not equal they work against each other. When a light is able to move.I agree===============================Answer #2:I don't.There's no such thing as one unbalanced force. A group of two or more forces is unbalanced if their vector sum is not zero. That means that after they're through fighting, pulling with all different strengths in all different directions, they don't exactly all cancel out. If they did, and the result of all of them was zero, then we would say that the group of forces is balanced.
