Question

If balanced forces are applied on a body initially at rest, then the body ___.

• A. remains at rest
• B. starts to move
• C. moves with a constant speed
• D. moves for an instant only

Answer 1

The correct option is A remains at rest

Forces of equal magnitude acting on a body in opposite direction such that the net force on the body is zero are called as balanced forces.
Since the net force is zero, the body will remain at rest.
