Unbalanced forces act on an object when there is a net force acting on it, causing it to accelerate or change its state of motion.
In the provided scenarios:
1. **Two people stand on the same side of a large tire. Both people pull the tire with equal force.** (Balanced forces – net force is zero)
2. **Two people stand on opposite sides of a large tire. Both people pull the tire with equal force.** (Balanced forces – net force is zero)
3. **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.** (Balanced forces – net force is zero)
4. **Two people stand on opposite sides of a large tire. Both people push the tire with equal force.** (Balanced forces – net force is zero)
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 scenario involves one person pushing and the other pulling in different directions, resulting in a net force, indicating that the forces are unbalanced.
So, the correct response 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.**
