Question

jake pushes a heavy box across a carpeted floor.Name three forces that act on the box, and explain how you know these are unbalenced

Answer 1

I actually learned about this stuff about 3 years ago and this is what I can tell you what I remember and hopefully it helps in a way...
[Newton’s law of motion]
There’s unbalanced forces, friction, and balanced forces.
Unbalanced forces is where the object (in this case the box) is moving in one direction because one of the forces is applying more pressure than the other
Friction is where the box would be harder to push but if it’s still an unbalanced force, it will still move in one direction. The surfaces of the ground and or object isn’t smooth. Therefore creating difficulty when moving it.
A Balanced force will not move the object in any direction. This is because there is an equal amount of force being applied to all opposing sides. The net force will always equal 0 when there’s a balanced force!
