A) The force of friction was 10-newtons.

B) The 10-newton force was an unbalanced force.

C) There was no friction experienced by the block.

D) There is a net a force of 10-newtons on the block.

    The frictional force will also act on the box. So, we can say that the 10 N force is an unbalanced force.

    Explanation:

    It is given that, a 10-Newton force is applied to a 2-kg block. The block slides across the floor at a constant speed of 5 m/s.

    The block is sliding with a constant speed. This shows the acceleration of the block is zero.

    When an object slides that means the force acting on it is unbalanced i. e. the object will move in a particular direction.

    A) The force of friction was 10-newtons.

    The force of friction was 10-newtons. If the block is moving at constant speed, all the forces on the block must be balanced.
