Simple: It keeps on moving.

An object, such as a comet has almost no forces working on it. If you watch it for say a day, even the force of the sun is so tiny that it can be neglected. Thus over the course of a day a comet will move almost precisely along a straight path.

You know the game with the hockey puck and the table that blows air up through small nozzles? This is an even better example of the situation you ask about. The force of gravity is almost exactly balanced by the force of the air from the nozzles in the table. Shove it at one end of the table, and it will keep on moving in the same direction at the same speed.

Mathematical equality is difficult to achieve in the real world. So first of all that table is finite. The puck will usually hit the other side within a few seconds. And that comet will follow an elliptical trajectory over the course of several centuries.

If an object is moving, it can have balanced forces on it.

Firstly, an object with unbalanced forces is either changing direction, changing shape, or changing speed. Something with balanced forces has to be staying still, right? Wrong.

An object with balanced forces can be staying still, or staying the same speed without changing direction or shape. For example, a car has balanced friction/air resistance/drag to acceleration, and balanced gravity to lift (opposing force to gravity; solidness).

Therefore, an object can be moving with balanced forces.

When the entire group of forces acting on an object is balanced, the vector sum

of the forces is zero, and the effect of the group of forces on the object's motion

is identical to the effect of no force at all. The object continues in constant uniform

motion.

To state the outcome of the situation in three different ways:

-- The object's acceleration is zero.

-- The object's velocity is constant.

-- The object's speed and direction of motion don't change.

The direct answer to the question is: Nothinghappens to its motion.

When the forces on an object are balanced, the effect is the same as if there were no forces
acting on the object at all. Its speed is constant, and it moves in a straight line.

Balanced force -> Zero net force -> Zero acceleration (stays at rest or constant velocity)

Balanced forces cancel each other, hence, they do not alter the motion of an object upon which they are acting.

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

Balanced forces do not alter the motion of objects.


What will happen if forces that act on an object are not balanced?

Then the objects will move in the direction of the resultant force.


How do balanced forces affect an objects motion?

Balanced forces applied on both sides of an object cause it to be still. Unbalanced forces will cause the object to move away from the strongest force.


What is the forces that result in no change in an objects motion?

Balanced Forces

The would be balanced forces.


Do balanced forces change an objects motion?

No.


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.


Objects that do not accelerate?

All objects accelerate if the forces acting on them are not balanced.


Compare how balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object at rest?

Balanced forces


How does balanced forces act on a car?

The same way it acts on any other objects. If the forces are balanced, there will be no acceleration.


How do balanced and unbalanced force affect an objects motion?

The motion in a body depends on the the balanced or unbalanced forces acting on it. If the sum of the forces is 0 then it is a balanced force and produces no motion if the sum of the forces isn't 0 then it is unbalanced force. The body will move in the direction in which the force is applied. That's about it
