Question

3 which statement describes the forces acting on a person sitting on the floor and on a pe 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. read the scenario and answer question #4 below. at a busy grocery store, a cashier notices how items move on the checkou

Explanation:

When a person is sitting on the floor or on a table, the person is at rest. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. For a person sitting, the force of gravity (acting downward) and the normal force (acting upward from the floor or table) are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. These are balanced forces. Balanced forces result in no change in motion (the person remains at rest).

Answer:

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