Question

A boy slipping on a slippery carriage (balanced forces or unbalanced forces)

Answer 1

Answer:

The boy slips on the ground due to the presence of unbalanced force.

Explanation:

There are mainly two types of forces, balanced and unbalanced forces. Balanced forces are the reasons why an object remains stationary or moving at a constant speed. Only an unbalanced force can make acceleration to a body.

The force of friction and gravity together helps the boy to walk firmly on the ground. This is a kind of balanced force and when it gets slippery, the force of friction will reduce and will result in an unbalanced force. Hence the boy slips on the slippery carriage.
