    The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

    What happens when two unbalanced forces act on an object?

    Consider a game of tug of war between Tim, Elena and Anne. Tim can pull with a force of 70N, Elena can pull with a force of 100N and Anne can pull woth a force of 30N. Determine if the different configurations of teams are balanced or unbalanced. write the configuration of teams in the correct row.

    Balanced

    Unbalanced

    Tim versus Elena and Anne Elena versus Tim and Anne Anne versus Tim and Elena

    Answer:

    Tim versus Elena and Anne: unbalanced Elena versus Tim and Anne: balanced Anne versus Tim and Elena: unbalanced

    Explanation: In a game of tug of war, the opposing teams pull the rope in opposite direction. If there is equilibrium in the forces, i. e., the opposing forces are balanced and the force resultant is 0, there is no winner.

    If the pulling force of one side is bigger than the other, i. e., if there is a desequilibrium, the opposing forces are unbalanced and whichever is greater wins the game.

    In the cases described, suppose the positive direction is towards the right side.

    1) Tim x Elena and Anne: there is no equilibrium because the force Tim pulls is smaller than Elena and Anne combined and so, the forces are unbalanced.

    Force = 70 + (-100-30)

    Force = - 60N

    2) Elena x Tim and Anne: Here the forces result in equilibrium, so they are balanced.

    Force = 100 + (-70-30)

    Force = 0

    3) Anne x Tim and Elena: Force of one side is greater than the other. So, there is no equilibrium and so, the forces are unbalanced.

    Force = 30 + (-100-70)

    Force = - 140N

    It is unbalanced

    Explanation:

    Tim pulls with a force of 70N; Elena pulls with a force of 100N, while Anne pulls with a force of 30N.

    Tim vs Elena + Anne can be expressed as:

    70 - (100 + 30) = 70 - 130

    = - 50 N

    The difference between the team of forces is 50 N.

    Therefore, the configuration of teams is unbalanced.
