When a ball is sitting still on top of a table, are the forces acting upon it balanced or unbalanced?

If a stationary object is staying still (in this case it's the ball) all of the forces acting upon it are balanced. If an object moving has balanced forces, it would move in the same direction at the same speed until a different outside force interrupts the equilibrium.

Hope this helps :)

This question involves the concepts of Newton's Second Law and Balanced Force.

The forces acting upon the ball are "Balanced".

Newton's Second Law

According to Newton's Second Law whenever an unbalanced force is applied on an object, it produces an acceleration in the object in the direction of the force itself. This acceleration is directly proportional to the magnitude of the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Since, the ball is at rest and not moving. Hence, it has no acceleration and no unbalanced force is applied on it. The weight of the ball is balanced by the normal reaction provided by the table. Therefore, the forces acting on the ball are Balanced Forces.
