Question

If the net force acting on a body is , then the forces are said to be .

• A. conserved
• B. non-zero
• C. zero
• D. balanced

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

The correct options are
C zero
D balanced

If the resultant of all the forces (net force) acting on a body is zero, then the forces are said to be balanced. Balanced forces cannot cause motion. If there is some non-zero net force acting on a body, then the forces are said to be unbalanced, and may cause the body to move.
