Answer:
D
Explanation:
If two unequal forces act in opposite directions, one larger force must cancel out the smaller force,
leaving the net force to be some number in one direction.
Take for example a game of tug-of-war; there are two OPPOSITE forces (groups of people) acting on the rope, one force is pulling with a force in the negative direction while the other force is pulling in the positive direction.
If the forces on the rope were unequal, then the stronger force (group) will pull everything in their direction.
The same will happen on two unequal forces of opposite directions acting on a wooden block. Therefore, since the resultant force will have a non-zero magnitude and direction, there will be a change in the block's motion and position.

See the explanation below
Explanation:
Density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume, i.e. the following equation can be used:
density = m/v
where:
density [kg/m^3]
m = mass [kg]
v = volume [m^3]
If we change the volume of a body by reducing its size, its mass will also decrease proportionally with a density as seen in the equation.
m = density*v
To understand this concept more clearly, let's use the following example:
We know that the density of water is equal to 1000 [kg/m^3], that is, 1 cubic meter of water contains 1000 kilograms of water, using the equation.
1000 = m /1
m = 1000*1 = 1000 [kg]
Now if we have 500 kilograms of water, that would pass with the volume so that the density remains constant.
1000 = 500/v
v = 500/1000
v = 0.5 [m^3]
We can see that the volume of water has halved. Since the mass of water was reduced by half. That is, the relationship between mass and volume is proportional to the density of the material or substance.
