Question

4) Two people are pulling on a chain in opposite directions with forces of 500 N and 600 N. The
forces would best be described as ____.

A) balanced forces
B) unbalanced forces
C) action-reaction forces
D) gravitational forces

Answer 1

Answer: B) unbalanced forces

Explanation:

        500 N and 600 N are not equal to each other. The two people are also pulling on the chain in opposite directions. Using these given pieces of information, we can decide that the answer is unbalanced forces acting upon the chain.

                 500 N ≠ 600 N
