Equal forces acting in opposite directions are called balanced forces. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's motion. When you add equal forces in opposite direction, the net force is zero.
hope this helped, please mark brainliest :)
Answer:
Forces that are equal in strength and opposite in direction are balanced forces.
Explanation:
The force is a vector magnitude by which a body can deform, modify its speed or get into motion overcoming a state of inertia and immobility. In other words, it is called force to any cause (action, effort or influence) that can alter the state of motion or rest of any body or deform it.
The unit of measure of force is Newton, whose symbol is N.
As mentioned, force is a vector magnitude, so it has four fundamental properties that are: intensity, direction, direction and point of application (surface where force is applied).
The forces are said to be balanced when the net force on the object is zero (that is, the result of the sum of all forces is zero) and the forces are not balanced when the net force is non-zero (that is, the result of the sum of all forces is not zero).
In other words, for the forces to be balanced all the forces acting on a body must cancel each other out, so that the resulting force or net force is zero. In order to cancel or add zero, the forces must be of equal magnitude but opposite directions. This causes that if the forces acting on an object are balanced, the state of motion of the body does not change. That is to say that if the body is at rest, it remains in this state. And if the body is moving, it will continue moving with constant speed.
Forces that are equal in strength and opposite in direction are balanced forces.
