Answer 1

B. Unbalanced .........

Answer 2

Answer:

Unbalanced

Explanation:

• The forces that cause a change in the motion of object i.e either bring it in motion or make it come to rest are unbalanced forces.
• When an unbalanced force is applied on an object it moves in the direction in which the unbalanced force is applied. 
• An object continues to move under the applied unbalanced force until and unless an equal force is applied to balance it out.
• In the given case, since the force applied by Anne makes the toy car move forward, the force applied is unbalanced n nature.
