Unbalanced forces are present when the total force acting on an object is not zero, meaning the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force. In the given options, the situation that describes unbalanced forces is:

"Two people stand on the same side of a large tire. One person pushes the tire and the other pulls the tire with equal force."

This situation creates a different net force on the tire compared to the situations where equal forces are applied in the same or opposite directions, which would create balanced forces.

Let's clarify the options again regarding unbalanced forces.

  • Two people stand on the same side of a large tire. Both people pull the tire with equal force. (Balanced forces – no movement)
  • Two people stand on the same side of a large tire. Both people push the tire with equal force. (Balanced forces – no movement)
  • Two people stand on opposite sides of a large tire. Both people push the tire with equal force. (Balanced forces – no movement)
  • Two people stand on opposite sides of a large tire. Both people pull the tire with equal force. (Balanced forces – no movement)
  • Two people stand on the same side of a large tire. One person pushes the tire and the other pulls the tire with equal force. (This would cause unbalanced forces, leading to movement in a specific direction, as the forces are not directly opposing each other.)

Therefore, I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. The correct scenario that describes unbalanced forces is "Two people stand on the same side of a large tire. One person pushes the tire and the other pulls the tire with equal force." This results in unbalanced forces acting on the tire. Thank you for your patience!
