Whenever two objects interact, the forces they exert on each other are equal and opposite.
What is a resultant force?
A number of forces acting at a point may be replaced by a single force that has the same effect on the motion as the original forces all acting together. This single force is called the resultant force.

The resultant force is the force that acts on objects and as a direct result of this, the objects will remain stationary.
If the resultant force acting on a stationary object is zero, what will happen to the object?
It will remain stationary.
It will accelerate.
It will decelerate.
If the resultant force acting on a moving object is not zero, what will happen to the object?
It will always become stationary.
It will always accelerate.
It will always decelerate.
It speeds up, slows down or changes direction depending on the direction and power of the resultant force.
