It will move to the left because of its magnitude. It will move to the left because of its magnitude. It will move to the right due to a balanced force.
1 answer
The correct statement based on the scenario is: It will move forward due to an unbalanced force.
Kelley is applying a force to the bookshelf, and if that force is greater than the frictional force opposing the movement, the bookshelf will move. The other options do not accurately describe the physics involved in the scenario.
