The unbalanced forces will cause the object to produce a humming sound.

The mass of the object will decrease.
The mass of the object will decrease.

Motion will be either created, stopped or changed.
Motion will be either created, stopped or changed.

The acceleration of the object will increase.

Motion will be either created, stopped or changed.

The correct response is: Motion will be either created, stopped, or changed.

When multiple forces are acting on an object that is at rest and the forces are unbalanced (meaning they are not equal or opposite in direction), the object will experience a net force. This net force will cause the object to start moving, change its motion, or stop it from moving altogether. The acceleration of the object will be determined by the magnitude and direction of the net force.

The correct answer is: Motion will be either created, stopped or changed.

To understand why, let's break down the problem. When multiple forces are acting on an object at rest, the forces can be categorized as balanced or unbalanced. Balanced forces are forces that cancel each other out, resulting in no net force on the object. Unbalanced forces, on the other hand, do not cancel each other out and result in a net force acting on the object.

In this scenario, the question states that the multiple forces are unbalanced. Since the forces are opposed but unbalanced, it means that the forces are acting in different directions and with different magnitudes, resulting in a net force on the object.

According to Newton's second law of motion, when there is a net force acting on an object, it will cause the object to accelerate. The acceleration can either create motion if the object was originally at rest, stop motion if the object was initially in motion, or change the direction or speed of the existing motion.

Therefore, the correct answer is that motion will be either created, stopped, or changed when multiple unbalanced forces act on an object at rest.
