(1 point) Responses Unbalanced forces and it moves to the left Unbalanced forces and it moves to the left Unbalanced forces and it moves to the right Unbalanced forces and it moves to the right Balanced forces and it doesn't move Balanced forces and it doesn't move Balanced forces and it moves to the left

Answer 1

The box experiences **unbalanced forces** if it is moving in either direction (to the left or to the right). It experiences **balanced forces** if it is not moving at all (staying at rest).

So, if the box is moving to the left, the correct response would be: **Unbalanced forces and it moves to the left.**
If it is moving to the right, the correct response would be: **Unbalanced forces and it moves to the right.**
If it is not moving, the answer would be: **Balanced forces and it doesn’t move.**

Based on your options, please clarify the situation (i.e., is it moving or not and in which direction) to choose the correct response.
