Which of the following statements is true regarding a balanced force acting on an object?
- A.It changes the speed of the object.
- B.It changes the direction of motion of the object.
- C.It does not change the state of rest or uniform motion of the object.Correct answer
- D.It always produces acceleration in the object.
Solution
Balanced forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, so their resultant is zero. They do not change the state of rest or uniform motion of an object, though they may change its shape.
