If the forces acting on a moving object are balanced, what will the object do?

• The object will remain motionless.

• The object will travel in the direction of the greater force.

• The object will travel in the same direction at the same velocity.

• The object will travel in the opposite direction at the same velocity.

• The object will slow down to a stop.
