The scenario of three people pushing a car up a hill is generally considered to be an unbalanced situation.
In an unbalanced scenario, the forces acting on the objects do not cancel each other out, resulting in a change in motion. In this case, the people are applying force to push the car upward against the force of gravity pulling it down the hill. If the force exerted by the people is greater than the gravitational force acting on the car, the car will move up the hill. If it is less, the car will remain stationary or slide back down.
Thus, the situation is unbalanced as the forces being applied are not equal to the forces opposing them.
