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.

What are forces that cancel each other out called?

Forces that cancel each other out are called balanced forces.


What type of forces cancel out each other?

Balanced forces, that are of equal strength.


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.

What happens when forces are unbalanced?

When the opposing forces are not balanced, it can result in :- 1. Translation - when the unequal forces are being applied at the same point. 2. Rotation - when the unequal forces are being applied at different points.


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'.


Explain the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Balanced forces - when two forces acting on an object are equal in size but opposite in direction, they cancel each other out and the object remains stationary or continues moving at a constant speed. Unbalanced forces - when two forces acting on an object are unequal in size, the object will accelerate in the direction of the larger force.


Pushes or pulls which completely cancel one another out are called?

Which forces are balanced?

Two or more forces are balanced if their vector sum is zero. That means they all cancel each other out, and the total result is just as if there were no forces at all.


What is the total force of two balanced forces?

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