    Forces are vectors that can be combined into a single resultant force acting on an object, regardless of how many individual forces there are. If the resultant force is zero, the forces are balanced and will not cause any acceleration, meaning an object will remain stationary or move at a constant speed. If the resultant force is non-zero, the forces are unbalanced and will cause acceleration in the direction of the resultant force.

    Forces are vectors, so we can find a resultant force on an object, no matter how many forces are acting on it.

    If the resultant force is zero, the forces must be balanced. Balanced forces cause no acceleration (This means that the object will remain stationary or carry on moving at a constant speed.) If the resultant force is not zero the forces are unbalanced. Unbalanced forces cause acceleration in the direction of the resultant force. Every force has a partner force that is the same size but actson another object and in the opposite direction.
