When multiple forces act on an object, they combine to form a resultant force. If opposing forces are equal, the resultant is zero (equilibrium). If not equal, the object accelerates in the direction of the larger force.
This concept links directly to Balanced and Unbalanced Forces and is used to explain accelerating vs constant-speed motion.
