Question

read it! question #1: which could be an example of a balanced force? a. a trophy on a shelf in a trophy case. b. a car accelerating from a stop sign. c. a box of dishes falling from a counter. d. a rocket taking off.

Explanation:

A balanced force occurs when two forces acting on an object are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no net force and no change in the object's motion. A trophy on a shelf is at rest, with the force of gravity pulling it down and the normal force of the shelf pushing it up being equal and opposite. In contrast, a car accelerating, a box of dishes falling, and a rocket taking - off all involve unbalanced forces causing a change in motion.

Answer:

A. A trophy on a shelf in a trophy case.
