Question
When a body is under the action of balanced forces, its ___.
- When a body is under the action of balanced forces, its ___.
- State of rest changes
- Both 1 and 2
- State of rest or uniform motion does not change
Hint:
When the resultant force acting on the body is zero. The body maintains its state of motion, that is either rest or uniform motion.
The correct answer is: State of rest or uniform motion does not change
- When two forces acting on a body are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, then the forces are called balanced forces.
- In the case of balanced force, a stationary body continues to be in its stationary position while a moving object will continue moving at the same speed and in the same direction.
- Means, state of rest or uniform motion doesn't change.
- So, the correct option will be d.
