There's no such thing as a 'balanced force' or an 'unbalanced force'.

A balanced group of forces is a group of two or more forces whose vector sum is zero.
Examples:
-- Identical twins pushing a shopping cart in exactly opposite directions.
-- A tug of war between equal numbers of members of 2 identical football teams.

An unbalanced group of forces is a group of two or more forces whose vector sum is not zero.
Example:
-- A 300-lb father and his 1-yr-old, both pushing the apple-juice bottle, in any two directions.
-- A tug of war between the football team and its cheer-leading squad.

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.


Are the forces on a car unbalanced or balanced?

balanced


Are the forces on a penny balanced or unbalanced and why?

If the penny isn't accelerating in some way, the forces are balanced. If it is, then they're unbalanced.


What does it means if forces are balanced or unbalanced?

Balanced: the vector sum of all forces on an object is zero. Unbalanced: this sum it is not zero.

What are the same about balanced force and unbalanced?

Both balanced and unbalanced forces can cause an object to move; however, balanced forces result in no change in an object's motion, while unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate or decelerate.


What are some examples of balanced forces and unbalanced forces in baseball?

The forces on the baseball are balanced when it's on the ground or on the shelf in the clubhouse, and unbalanced at all other times.


Is change an object's motion balanced or unbalanced force?

A change in an object's motion can be caused by both balanced and unbalanced forces. Balanced forces result in no change in motion, while unbalanced forces cause acceleration or deceleration in the object's motion.


Pictures of balanced and unbalanced forces?

I'm unable to display pictures, but I can describe the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces. Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion. Unbalanced forces are unequal in size or not in opposite directions, causing an object to accelerate in the direction of the stronger force.


Do balanced and unbalanced forces have direction?

Yes, both balanced and unbalanced forces have direction. Balanced forces have equal magnitude and opposite directions, resulting in no overall change in an object's motion. Unbalanced forces have unequal magnitudes or directions, causing changes in an object's motion.


How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect 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


How do balanced forces and unbalanced forces differ?

* Balanced: The vector sum of all forces on an object is zero. The object does not accelerate.* Unbalanced: The vector sum of all forces on an object is NOT zero, the object DOES accelerate.
