Question

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

Explanation:

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. When the forces acting on an object are balanced, the net force is zero. In this case, since the potato and the stack of coins are not moving (in a state of rest), the forces acting on them must be balanced. Unbalanced forces would cause a change in motion (acceleration).

Answer:

the forces are BALANCED
