Question

What are balanced and unbalanced forces ?

Answer 1

Balanced forces:

When the forces cancel out the effects of each other in such a way that the resultant force is zero, then these forces are said to be balanced.

Example - A game of tug of war with equally matched opponents.

Unbalanced forces:

If a number of forces acting on a body produce an acceleration in a body, then the forces are said to be unbalanced.

Example - The ball moves from one place to another after it’s kicked.
