Question

Help me pleaseeeeeeeeeee

Answer 1

Since the forces are directly opposing each other, we can subtract their magnitude to obtain the net force on the system.

Assume the positive direction is to the left:

`f_(net) = f_(left) - f_(right) \\ f_(net) = 15 - 10 \\ f_(net) = + 5 \: newton`

5 Newtons to our assumed positive direction, which is to the left, so 5 newtons to the left is the answer.
