How would you differentiate between balanced and unbalanced forces? In other words, what would be their difference?
Possible answers: What is balanced forces will cause an object's motion to remain the same or to remain at rest while unbalanced forces will cause a change in motion, direction, position?
CANNOT ACCEPT: Balanced doesn't cause motion while unbalanced causes motion. This is not accurate. Balanced forces DO cause motion, however they keep an object at the same speed/same motion.
