In which situation are unbalanced forces acting on an object

1 answer

Unbalanced forces are acting on an object when the net force is not equal to zero. Some examples of situations where unbalanced forces may be acting on an object include:

1. Pushing or pulling an object in one direction with a greater force than the opposing force.
2. A car accelerating or decelerating.
3. A person throwing a ball, where the force exerted by the person is greater than the resistive forces such as air resistance and gravity.
4. A book sliding across a table due to a force applied to it, while the frictional force is smaller or in the opposite direction.
