Detailed explanation-1: -Balanced forces are those that are opposite in direction and equal in size. Balanced forces are considered to be in a state of equilibrium. When forces are balanced there is no change in direction. Balance forces cannot change the motion or direction of an object.
Detailed explanation-2: -Newton’s third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This means that forces always act in pairs. Action and reaction forces are equal and opposite, but they are not balanced forces because they act on different objects so they don’t cancel out.
Detailed explanation-3: -If two forces of equal strength act on an object in opposite directions, the forces will cancel, resulting in a net force of zero and no movement.
