the forces were unequal, then became equal
the forces are consistently unequal
the forces were equal, then became unequal
the forces are consistently equal

Answer 1

Based on the information provided, the BEST conclusion supported by the data in the graph is that the forces were equal and then became unequal. This can be inferred from the fact that the velocity of the cart remains constant for a period of time and then starts to change, indicating a change in the forces acting on it.
