Question

an object that is stationary is the result of what kind of force(s)? (1 point)
no forces
unbalanced forces
balanced forces
net forces

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest (stationary) remains at rest unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force. When forces acting on an object are balanced (\(F_{net}=\sum_{i = 1}^{n}F_{i}=0\)), there is no acceleration (\(a = 0\)). If there were no forces (\(F = 0\)), it would also be a case of balanced forces (as \(0\) sum of forces). Unbalanced forces (\(F_{net}
eq0\)) cause acceleration and change in motion. Net forces (\(F_{net}\)) being non - zero would imply acceleration. But the most appropriate term among the options for a stationary object (no acceleration) is balanced forces as it directly refers to the state where the sum of forces is zero.

Answer:

balanced forces
