Investigate and explain that when a force is applied to an object but it does not move, it is because another opposing force is
being applied by something in the environment so that the forces are balanced. The diagram below shows a box lying on a wedge. Two opposite forces are acting on the box. (1 point)
Force 1 acting downward and Force 2 acting upward on a square box lying on a wedge.
If the box is stationary, which of the following is true about force 1 and force 2?
1. Force 1 Force 2 Comparison of Forces
Gravity Friction Force 1 is stronger than Force 2
2. Force 1 Force 2 Comparison of Forces
Friction Gravity Force 2 is stronger than Force 1
3. Force 1 Force 2 Comparison of Forces
Gravity Friction Force 1 is equal to Force 2
4. Force 1 Force 2 Comparison of Forces
Friction Gravity Force 1 is equal to Force 2
