Here's why:
* Balanced forces means the forces are equal in magnitude (strength) and opposite in direction.
* Net force is the overall force acting on an object. It's calculated by adding up all the forces acting on the object, considering both magnitude and direction.
* Since balanced forces are equal and opposite, they cancel each other out when added together.
Example:
Imagine pushing a box with a force of 10 Newtons to the right. If someone else pushes the box with a force of 10 Newtons to the left, the forces are balanced. The net force is zero, and the box won't move.
Key takeaway: Balanced forces result in no change in the object's motion. It will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity.
