    Answer:

    -10 N, not balanced

    Explanation:

    Force is a vector quantity, so in order to find the net force on an object, we must use vector addition rule.

    This means that if two forces acting on an object along the same line, we have to choose one direction as positive, and write the two forces with the correct sign.

    In this problem, we have two forces acting along a line on the car:

    – A first force of

    F_1 = +20 N

    – A second force of

    F_2=-30 N

    Therefore, the net force on the car is:

    \sum F=F_1+F_2=+20 +(-30)=-10 N

    Moreover, the net force on an object is said to be “balanced” if it is zero: in this case, it is not zero, so it is not balanced.
