Explanation:
Balanced Forces
Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction. When forces are
balanced, there is no change in motion. In one of your situations in the last
section, you pushed or pulled on an object from opposite directions but with
the same force. You observed that the object did not move. When the forces
on an object are equal and in opposite directions, the forces are balanced,
and there is no change in motion.
Remember when the heavy bucket in your classroom was pushed lightly?
It was standing still, or at rest. Although a force was applied to it, the bucket
remained at rest. Its motion did not change. The forces acting on the bucket
were balanced. It was pushed in one direction, but a different force, called
friction, pushed back in the opposite direction. The two forces were equal
in size and opposite in direction, so they cancelled out each other, and no
motion occurred.
