    The statement is false. Balanced forces can NOT change the speed OR direction of an object's motion. (See Newton's #1 law of motion.)

    False

    Explanation:

    As per Newton's first law of motion, an object will not change its state of motion until an external unbalanced force is applied on it.

    If a balanced force is applied on an object there will be no change in state of motion. Take for example a box. One person moves it to left with force F and another person moves it to the right with same force F. The box will not move. But if the two forces are not equal then a net force will be acting on the box and it will move and its direction will be changed.
