Question

What is the net force acting on the object above?

Answer 1

5 N to the right

There’s a force of 6 N pulling to the right (the positive direction) and 1 N pulling left (the negative direction).
Net force= 6 N - 1 N = 5 N to the right

Answer 2

5N to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a force of 2N acting on the object to the right, 1N to the left, and another 4N to the right. if we add all of these forces together, taking to the right as positive, and to the left as negative, we get 2 + 4 - 1, which is 6 - 1, which is equal to 5, and since it's positive, it's a net force to the right.
