O Push forces do not cause motion.
O The forces have different magnitudes.
O The box pushes back on the people.
O Balanced forces do not cause motion.
Good job and here are all the answers for you
What is the magnitude of a force?
the amount of force - correct
Two people push a box from opposite directions; the box does not move. Which statement best explains this result?
Balanced forces do not cause motion. - correct
A soccer player kicks a ball toward a net. Which statement correctly explains how far the ball will travel?
A stronger kick corresponds to a greater magnitude of force, so the ball will travel farther. - correct
In which situation is the magnitude of the total force greater than the magnitude of each of the individual forces?
Two people stand on opposite sides of a large box. One pushes, and the other pulls with the same amount of force. - correct
The correct statement that best explains the result is: "Balanced forces do not cause motion."
The correct statement that best explains this result is: O The box pushes back on the people.
The best explanation for why the box does not move when two people push it from opposite directions is:
O Balanced forces do not cause motion.
When forces acting on an object are balanced, it means that the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. In this scenario, the forces exerted by the two people pushing the box are equal in magnitude, but in opposite directions. As a result, these forces cancel each other out, creating a state of balance. When the forces are balanced, there is no net force acting on the box, which means there is no acceleration or change in motion. Therefore, the box remains stationary.
