There must be a net force acting on the object in the x or y plane

b)

The force of gravity must be stronger than the normal force acting on the object

c)

The net force in the x and y plane must equal zero

d)

a)

An equal force in the opposite direction

b)

An unbalanced force of gravity

c)

The normal force that opposes gravity
