Detailed explanation-1: -When two forces act in the same direction, they add together. Equal forces acting in opposite directions are called balanced forces. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object’s motion. When you add equal forces in opposite direction, the net force is zero.
Detailed explanation-2: -Forces acting on an object may be balanced or unbalanced. When the forces acting on an object have equal strength and act in opposite directions, they are balanced. These forces cancel out one another, and the motion of the object they are acting on remains unchanged.
Detailed explanation-3: -Newton’s third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.
