Question

if you push a box to the right with a force of 5 newtons and your friend pushes it to the left with a force of 3 newtons, what type of forces are acting on the box?
balanced forces
unbalanced forces
invisible forces
opposite forces

Explanation:

Balanced forces have equal magnitude and act in opposite directions, resulting in a net - force of zero. Here, one force is 5 Newtons to the right and the other is 3 Newtons to the left. The magnitudes are not equal, so they are unbalanced forces. Opposite forces is a general term, but unbalanced forces is a more specific answer. Invisible forces is not relevant as these are clearly visible - contact forces.

Answer:

B. Unbalanced forces
