Balanced forces and it moves to the left

Answer 1

In this scenario, the box experiences two opposing forces: a 14 N force to the left and an 8 N force to the right. To determine the net force, we can subtract the smaller force from the larger one:

Net force = 14 N (left) - 8 N (right) = 6 N (left)

Since the net force is directed to the left, the forces are unbalanced. Therefore, the box experiences unbalanced forces and it moves to the left.

The correct response is:

Unbalanced forces and it moves to the left.
