If there are two equal and opposite forces acting on an object, these forces are in equilibrium. This means that the forces are balanced and there will be no change in the object's motion.

If the forces are balanced they will have no action or the object, if not they will accelerate the object in the resultant direction of the two forces..

When two forces are equal what do we say?

When two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, we say they are balanced or in equilibrium.


When two forces are equal do you say they are magnetic?

No, when two forces are equal, we say they are balanced or in equilibrium. In the context of magnetism, when two magnetic forces are equal and opposite, they cancel each other out, resulting in a balanced state.


When two forces are equal you say they are?

When two forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, they are said to be balanced. This means that the forces cancel each other out and the object remains at rest or moves at a constant velocity.


What can you say about an object at rest pulled in opposite directions by equal forces?

An object at rest being pulled in opposite directions by equal forces experiences a state of equilibrium where the forces cancel each other out. As a result, the object remains stationary with no net acceleration or movement in any direction.


According To Newtons 3rd Law Of Motion For Every Action There Is An Equal And Opposite Reaction Then How Come Things Move If Theres Going To Be Something Moving Them Back With Equal Force?

To say that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction is slightly misleading you, as these forces are NOT on the same object. Better to say 'if A exerts a force on B, then B exerts an equal and opposite force on A'. When I stand on my bathroom scales, I exert a downward force on the scales, which deflect until they exert an equal and opposite force on me, thus preventing me from falling. Acceleration occurs to ME when forces on ME are unbalanced. e.g. if I stood on a rocket the upward force of the rocket on me is greater than the downward force of gravity, so I would accelerate upwards. These are NOT action-reaction forces. What are action-reaction forces are the force I exert on the rocket and the force the rocket exerts on me.


When the net force on an object is zero we say that the two forces are?

When the net force on an object is zero, the two forces acting on the object are balanced or equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. This is known as equilibrium.


When two forces are equal we say they are?

Balanced


What can you say about the sum of a number and its opposite?

They equal zero.


What can you say about the forces acting on a stationary object?

A stationary object has balanced forces acting on it. That means the forces pushing or pulling in different directions are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no acceleration or movement of the object.


If two equal forces act on an object in opposite directions the net force will be balanced?

Yes, the two forces will cancel each other out and the net force will be zero. This is known as equilibrium, where the object's acceleration is zero and it remains at rest or continues moving at a constant velocity.


What type of force does an object have if its net force is equal to zero?

If the net force on an object is zero, we can say that the forces are balanced, or that they are in equilibrium(which really means the same thing). There may be forces acting on the object, but there is an equal and opposite force pushing or pulling in the opposite direction, and all the forces balance out. Alternatively, there may be no forces acting on the object at all.


Why the book stay stationary on table altough action and reaction forces are applied?

The action and reaction forces have equal magnitudes and opposite directions, so their vector sum is zero. We say the two forces are "balanced", and the net force on the book is zero, so the book doesn't accelerate.
