Unbalanced forces act on an object when the net force acting on it is not zero. This occurs in the following situation:

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.

In this case, one force is pushing and the other is pulling, resulting in a net force that is not balanced, hence creating unbalanced forces acting on the tire.
