The direction of the force of static friction is along the plane of contact, and is opposite to the direction in which there would be relative motion if there was no friction (for example, if one of the surfaces suddenly turned to ice). Hope this helped!

What is an unbalanced force
Butoxors [25]
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".

If all of the forces acting on an object all add up to zero, then we say that
<span>the group </span>of forces is balanced.  When that happens, the group of forces
has the same effect on the object as if there were no forces on it at all. 

An example: 
Two people with exactly equal strength are having a tug-of-war.  They pull
with equal force in opposite directions.  Each person is sweating and straining,
grunting and groaning, and exerting tremendous force.  But their forces add up
to zero, and the rope goes nowhere.  The <u>group</u> of forces on the rope is balanced.

On the other hand, if one of the offensive linemen is pulling on one end of
the rope, and one of the cheerleaders is pulling on the other end, then their
forces don't add up to zero, because even though they're opposite, they're
not equal.  The <u>group</u> of forces is <u>unbalanced</u>, and the rope moves.

A group of forces is either balanced or unbalanced.  A single force isn't.

The positive benefit of the uranium mining will be felt by the people and economy because uranium mining give us enough resource to provide sustainable and low cost method of generating energy.
The environment on the other hand , will only be exposed to the negative impact. If the miners fail to store the waste properly, the uranium could make the environment around it become really toxic and unhabitable.
