Question

2.
net force:
forces are: balanced unbalanced
object will: not accelerate accelerate

Explanation:

Step1: Identify force directions

Upward force \( F_{up} = 9\,\text{N} \), downward force \( F_{down} = 2\,\text{N} \).

Step2: Calculate net force

Net force \( F_{net} = F_{up} - F_{down} = 9 - 2 = 7\,\text{N} \) (upward, since \( F_{up} > F_{down} \)).

Step3: Determine force balance

Since \( F_{net}
eq 0 \), forces are unbalanced.

Step4: Predict object motion

Unbalanced forces cause acceleration, so the object will accelerate.

Answer:

Net force: \( \boldsymbol{7} \) N
Forces are: unbalanced
Object will: accelerate
