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.
