Balanced forces occur when two forces acting on an object are equal in size and opposite in direction, causing no change in the object's motion. Unbalanced forces occur when the two forces are unequal in size, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the larger force.
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.
You say that the two forces are in equilibrium.
If the forces are balanced, then by definition the sum of the forces is zero.
Balanced forces do not alter the motion of objects.
Balanced forces acting on an object do not change the object's position.
un-accelerated
During the time, you're pushing it, the forces are unbalanced. Once you stop, they are balanced. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion, even if it is slowing it to a stop. Balanced forces produce no change.
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.
You say that the two forces are in equilibrium.
If the forces are balanced, then by definition the sum of the forces is zero.
Unbalanced forces is when the forces are 0N or more. Balanced forces are 0.
Balanced forces do not alter the motion of objects.
balanced
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 position.
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.
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.
