When a pair of balanced forces acts on an object, the net force that results is A. greater in size than both forces combined. B. equal to zero. C. greater in size than one of the forces. D. equal in size to one of the forces.

Respuesta :

The net force is equal to zero

Answer: The correct answer is option (B).

Explanation:

When a pair of balanced forces acts on an object that two equal forces are action on an object in opposites direction.

Suppose, an  force[tex]F_a[/tex] and [tex]F_b[/tex] are acting on an object in opposite direction.

[tex]F_a=-(F_b)[/tex]

The net force acting on the object :

Net force = [tex]F_a+F_b=F_a+(-F_a)=0[/tex]

Hence, the correct answer is option(B).
