Can somebody explain me this. If a body(for eg ball) is moving with constant velocity, and if i apply to opposite forces on it such that they are balanced forces, will the body stop moving, or will there be an increase or decrease in magnitude of velocity, or there will be no change at all. I am not able to visualise what will happen in such a case

Solution

If net force is zero nothing will change at all as according to newton's first law of motion.

Q. Choose the correct statement(s):
Statement 1: Unbalanced forces can change the direction of motion of a body.
Statement 2: A balanced force is required to accelerate the body.
Statement 3: An object moves with a uniform velocity when balanced forces are acting on it or if there is no net force acting on it.
Statement 4: Balanced force cannot bring an object at rest to motion.

When ever I am not in a deep sleep or when I am taking a short nap, i will not be able to hear even the sound of the person next to me? Why does this happen?

An aircraft is moving with a velocity of 300 $m s^{- 1}$ If all the forces acting on it are balanced, then

Q. What will happen if you chop or break an atom?what will happen to the electron(s)?will they be moving still?what about the protons and neutrons?will there be any energy emitted?

We saw in Newton's laws of motion that if we apply an external unbalanced force on a ball,it will move and also will come to a stop because of gravitational pull and also frictional force. If we do the same thing in space,will the ball come to a stop?

Because,in space there is no frictional force and no gravitational pull,so will it come to stop?
