multiple choice question
two students push a large bo. this causes the box to slide on the floor. which kind of force did the students apply to the box?
balanced
pull
unbalanced
When two students push a box and it slides, the forces acting on the box are unbalanced. Balanced forces would result in no change in motion (the box would stay at rest or move at a constant velocity if already in motion). A pull is not relevant here as the action described is pushing. Unbalanced forces cause a change in the box's motion (in this case, starting to slide).
