Two forces that are equal and opposite are said to be
A) Parallel forces
B) Unbalanced forces
C) Collinear forces
D) Balanced forces
Correct Answer:
D) Balanced forces
Explanation:
When two forces have equal magnitudes and act in opposite directions, they create a balanced force system. In this situation, the forces cancel each other out, resulting in no net force acting on an object. This leads to a state of equilibrium, where the object remains at rest or moves at a constant velocity.
