Answer 1

Unbalanced forces are acting on an object when the net force applied to it is not zero. In the given options, the scenario where unbalanced forces are acting 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.

In this situation, the forces are not directly opposing each other but instead pulling in different directions, resulting in an unbalanced force on the tire.
