Question

Which situations describe unbalanced forces? Check all that apply. a baseball resting on a table a pitcher throwing a baseball a car stalling at a stoplight a car accelerating downhill a rubber duck floating in a bathtub a toy rocket being launched into the air

Answer 1

the second, fourth, and sixth. 

Answer 2

a pitcher throwing a baseball

a car accelerating downhill

a toy rocket being launched into the air

Step-by-step explanation:

As per Newton's II law we know that when an object will have unbalanced force on it then it will become accelerated.

So here we know that

`F = ma`

so in order to find the unbalanced force condition we will here find the condition of acceleration in the given all cases

a baseball resting on a table = Not accelerated so it is balanced force

a pitcher throwing a baseball = baseball is accelerated so it is unbalanced

a car stalling at a stoplight = car is at rest so no acceleration so it is balanced force

a car accelerating downhill = here its accelerating so it is unbalanced

a rubber duck floating in a bathtub = No acceleration so it is balanced force

a toy rocket being launched into the air = Accelerating so it is unbalanced
