Solution

The two descriptions that apply to an unbalanced force are:

  1. A force without an equal and opposite force acting on the same object: This is because an unbalanced force means that the forces acting on an object are not equal, causing a change in the object's motion.

  2. A force that affects an object's motion: An unbalanced force will always cause a change in the object's motion, either by changing its speed or direction. This is the principle behind Newton's second law of motion.
