Which statement best describes the forces of an object moving upward?

• The forces are unbalanced, and there is more force pushing down on the object than pulling up.

• The forces are balanced, and there is more force pushing down on the object than pulling up.

• The forces are balanced, and there is more force pushing up on the object than pulling down.
