Balenced and Unbalenced Forces

1. We have all heard of the game tug of war.  Explain how this game could have a clear winner. when one side has more force than the other.

3. I am trying to push a large box across the gym. Although I am exerting a force, the box does not move. Why could that be? The box is to heavy and you arent strong enough to push it.

4. One ball rolls along a shelf at a steady rate. A second ball rolls off the shelf and gains speed as it falls in a curved path. Which must have an unbalanced force acting on it and why?
