Question

An object with balanced forces acting on it cannot be in motion.

True
False

Answer 1

False. An object with balanced forces acting on it can be in motion. The key point is that balanced forces mean that the object is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity (i.e., it is not accelerating). If the object is already in motion and the forces remain balanced, it will continue to move at the same speed and in the same direction.
