Question

question 3.
which statement describes the forces acting on a person sitting on the floor and on a pen sitting on a table?
a. these are both examples of balanced forces that result in motion.
b. these are both examples of balanced forces that result in no motion.
c. these are both examples of unbalanced forces that result in no motion.
d. these are both examples of unbalanced forces that result in motion.

Explanation:

When a person is sitting on the floor or a pen is sitting on a table, the forces acting on them are balanced. The gravitational force (pulling downwards) is balanced by the normal force (pushing upwards). Balanced forces mean there is no net force acting on the object. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest will remain at rest if the net force acting on it is zero. So, both the person and the pen remain in a state of no motion.

Answer:

B. These are both examples of balanced forces that result in no motion.
