The plane maintains a steady speed as it avoids a flock of birds. The plane accelerates steadily as it moves forward. The plane accelerates steadily as it moves forward. The plane maintains a steady speed and straight direction. The plane maintains a steady speed and straight direction. The plane is turning steadily as it maintains its speed

Answer 1

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, the object remains in its state of motion, which means it will either stay at rest or move at a constant speed in a straight line.
