Question

True or False? Balanced forces cause a change in motion How do you know this?

Answer 1

False. Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. When forces acting on an object are balanced, the net force is zero, meaning the object will either remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity (if it was already in motion). A change in motion occurs only when there is an unbalanced force acting on an object, resulting in an acceleration or deceleration according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.
