Question

  1. are any of the forces acting on the freezer balanced? if so, which ones?
  2. are any of the forces acting on the freezer unbalanced? if so, which ones?
  3. describe the motion of the freezer.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no net force in that axis. The weight (W) and normal force (N) meet this condition.
  2. Unbalanced forces are unequal in size, creating a net force. The push force ($F_{push}$) and friction force ($F_{friction}$) meet this condition.
  3. Unbalanced horizontal forces create a net force, causing acceleration in the direction of the larger force.

Answer:

  1. Yes. The weight ($W$) and normal force ($N$) are balanced.
  2. Yes. The push force ($F_{push}$) and friction force ($F_{friction}$) are unbalanced.
  3. The freezer accelerates in the direction of the push force ($F_{push}$) (the direction the person is pushing).
