The statement that best describes the plane's movement when the forces acting on it are balanced is:
**The plane maintains a steady speed and straight direction.**
When forces are balanced, it means that the net force acting on the plane is zero, which results in constant velocity (steady speed in a straight line).
**The plane maintains a steady speed and straight direction.**
When forces are balanced, it means that the net force acting on the plane is zero, which results in constant velocity (steady speed in a straight line).
