Question
choose the correct answer. in this image, the potato and the stack of coins are not moving. what can be said about the forces acting on the coins and the potato? the forces are unbalanced the forces are balanced
When an object is at rest (not moving), according to Newton's first law of motion, the net force acting on it is zero. This means the forces acting on the object are balanced (the sum of all forces in all directions is zero, so there is no acceleration, and the object remains stationary). Since the potato and the stack of coins are not moving, the forces acting on them must be balanced.
