The statement that best describes the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces as they relate to Newton’s first law of motion is:
An object that is acted on by balanced forces maintains its state of motion.
This is because Newton's first law states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
