The forces on the planets are not balanced. The gravitational force between

the sun and each planet is what keeps the planet in orbit around the sun.

If the forces on a planet were balanced, then the planet would sail off in

a straight line, and would never be seen or heard from again.

Two forces that cancel each other out?

When two forces cancel each other out, they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This results in a net force of zero and no change in the object's motion. An example is a book resting on a table where the force of gravity pulling it down is balanced by the normal force of the table pushing it up.


How do you know if the net forces on an object are balanced or not?

If the net forces on an object are balanced, the object will remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity. You can determine if forces are balanced by calculating the sum of the forces in each direction (e.g., horizontal and vertical) and comparing them. If the sum of the forces in each direction is zero, the forces are balanced.


What are similarities between balanced forces and action reaction forces?

There is no such thing as a balanced force or an unbalanced force. A groupof two or more forces may be balanced or unbalanced. The group of forces isbalanced if the vector sum of all the forces in the group is zero.


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.


Balanced forces do not cause what?

Balanced forces do not cause changes in an object's motion or acceleration. When two forces are balanced, their magnitudes and directions cancel each other out, resulting in no net force acting on the object.

Why are forces balanced or unbalanced on planets?

When a pair of balanced forces acts on an object the ne force that result is?

If the net force is zero, then the forces are balanced. If the net force is not zero, then the forces are not balanced. You can have a balanced pair of forces, but not a pair of balanced forces.


If there are two equal and opposite forces on something you say the forces are?

You say that the two forces are in equilibrium.


What if the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces in terms of motion?

Unbalanced forces is when the forces are 0N or more. Balanced forces are 0.


What is the total force of two balanced forces?

If the forces are balanced, then by definition the sum of the forces is zero.


What effect do balanced forces have on the motion of objects?

Balanced forces do not alter the motion of objects.


Are the forces on a car unbalanced or balanced?

What are balanced forces equivalent to?

A balanced group of forces has the same effect as no force at all.


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.


Are any the forces acting on the freezer balanced?

If the freezer is stationary, the forces acting on it are likely balanced. The gravitational force pulling it downward is likely balanced by the normal force exerted by the floor, as well as any frictional forces that may oppose its motion. If the freezer is accelerating or moving, the forces may not be balanced.


Are the two forces balanced or unbalanced?

What two forces? If two forces go in opposite directions, and have the same magnitude, they will be balanced. Otherwise they wont'.
