yeah i got a 2/5 so i hope this helps

1 Two people stand on the same side of a large tire. Both people pull the tire with equal force.

2 an object’s resistance to a change its motion

3 The car moves forward, while inertia keeps the balloon in place.

4 The unbalanced forces of air resistance and gravity slow the airplane and pull it down.

5 An unbalanced force can change both the object's direction and speed.

hope im not to late <3

A car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 10 seconds.

iddk what to put got me a 100%

To determine which situation involves unbalanced forces acting on an object, we need to understand Newton's First Law of Motion. According to this law, an object will remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

In the first situation, two people stand on opposite sides of a large tire and both people pull the tire with equal force. Since the forces are balanced and in opposite directions, the tire will not experience any net force. Therefore, this situation does not involve unbalanced forces.

In the second situation, two people stand on the same side of a large tire. One person pushes the tire and the other person pulls the tire with equal force. Again, the forces are balanced because they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Therefore, there are no unbalanced forces in this situation.

In the third situation, two people stand on the same side of a large tire and both people pull the tire with equal force. Similar to the previous situations, the forces are balanced, resulting in no unbalanced forces.

In the last situation, two people stand on opposite sides of a large tire and both people push the tire with equal force. In this case, the forces are again balanced because they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Thus, there are no unbalanced forces involved.

To summarize, none of the situations described involve unbalanced forces acting on the object. The correct answer is that none of the given situations exhibit unbalanced forces.
