The sections in which the sled will experience an unbalanced force are Response area and Response area.
The sections in which the sled will experience an unbalanced force are the starting section and the ending section of the track.
The sections in which the sled will experience an unbalanced force are the start of the track (where it is initially pushed or pulled) and at the end of the track (where it comes to a stop or is slowed down by an external force).
To determine the sections of the track where the sled will experience an unbalanced force, you need to understand the concept of unbalanced forces and how they affect the motion of objects.
An unbalanced force is a force that causes a change in an object's motion, either by changing its speed or direction. If there is no unbalanced force acting on an object, the object will remain at rest or continue to move with a constant speed and direction.
In the case of the sled moving on a smooth, frictionless track, there are no external forces acting on the sled that could cause a change in its motion. Since the track is smooth and frictionless, there is no friction force to slow down or stop the sled, and there are no other external forces present. Therefore, the sled will not experience any unbalanced forces in any section of the track.
Thus, the correct answer to the question is that the sled will not experience an unbalanced force in any section of the track.
