Mrs. Gartrell's class is playing Tug-of-War to demonstrate how an unbalanced force will affect an object's motion. The class has twenty students, and they have to split into teams to represent an unbalanced force. J'Michael says they should divide evenly, ten on each side. Nate disagrees and says there should not be even teams; it should be the eight students against twelve students.
