Question

Which example shows an object acted on by two balanced forces? A car moving at a constant direction; A skateboard rolling down a hill with increasing speed; A baseball rolling to a stop; A snowflake landing on a roof

Answer 1

An object acted on by two balanced forces will not accelerate; instead, it will either remain at rest or move at a constant velocity. Among the examples provided, the best one that fits this scenario is:

**A car moving at a constant direction.**

In this case, the car is moving steadily, indicating that the forces acting on it are balanced (the driving force, friction, air resistance, etc.). The other examples involve either acceleration or deceleration, which indicates unbalanced forces.
