Question
When the net force on an object is zero, the forces on the object are called _____.
- Balanced forces
- Unbalanced forces
- Contact forces
- Gravitational forces
Hint:
The forces in all directions must be equal to zero.
The correct answer is: Balanced forces
- Net force zero means, sum of all the forces in all the direction must be zero.
- And, if two individual forces are of equal magnitude and opposite direction, then the forces are said to be balanced.
- Means that the individual force cancel out each other resulting in a zero net force acting on the object.
- Hence, correct option is a.
