Balanced forces keep things nice and steady when it comes to how objects move.

When forces are balanced, they cancel each other out. This means that nothing changes in motion.

For example, think about a book sitting on a table.

The book pulls down because of its weight. At the same time, the table pushes up with the same amount of force.

These forces balance each other, so the book doesn’t move!

Here’s a quick rundown:

• Balanced Forces: No change in movement.
• Still Objects: If something isn’t moving, it stays still.
• Moving Objects: If something is already moving, it keeps going at the same speed in a straight line.

In a nutshell, when forces are balanced, objects are just chilling!
