Answer 1

Explanation:

When the forces acting on an object are balanced , there is no change in the object's motion.

A force acting on a resting object can cause the object to move.

On Earth, gravity pulls all objects toward the ground.

When a force acts in the opposite direction of another force, the forces counteract each other.

More than one force acting on a falling object can reduce its downward acceleration

Air resistance is caused by molecules of air pushing against a moving object
