Question

when the net force of an object is equal to zero then the forces are said to be______.​

Answer 1

when the net force of an object is equal to zero then the forces are said to be equilibrium

Answer 2

When the net force of an object is equal to zero then the forces are said to be balanced.

Explanation:

• When two forces acting on an object are equal in size but act in opposite directions, we say that they are balanced forces.

• If the forces on an object are balanced (or if there are no forces acting on it), this is what happens:

1. A stationary object stays still
2. A moving object continues to move at the same speed and in the same direction.

Example: When a wall is pushed, it does not move. It means that person exerting the force and the wall are exerting a balanced force on each other.
