Seaweed is used in most ice creams as a thickening agent. The food additive, carrageenan, is made from edible seaweeds and is often listed on the labels of ice cream and other products. There is some controversy over its use in foods that are labeled as "all-natural" or "healthy." The issue over carrageenan is that some studies have suggested it might cause inflammation in the intestines, while others have indicated that it might even contribute to the production of cancer cells. However, many scientists have found these studies to be flawed and declared the food additive as safe to eat.

A student claims that hitting a tennis ball across the court is an example of balanced forces. Is he correct?(1 point)
Responses
No, because equal forces act on the ball from all sides.

Yes, because equal forces act on the ball from all sides.
Yes, because the force in the direction of the ball’s motion is greater.
The correct response is:
No, because the force in the direction of the ball’s motion is greater.
Balanced forces occur when all forces acting on an object cancel each other out, resulting in no change in motion. In the case of hitting a tennis ball, the force applied to the ball in the direction of its motion (from the racket) is greater than any opposing forces (like air resistance or gravity), meaning that the forces are not balanced.
