Question

If an object is pushed to the right by a force of 7N and pushed to the left by a force of 7N ,what is the resultant force on the object?

Answer 1

Pushed to the right = 7N
Pushed to the left = -7N
(As conventionally right to left is + and left to right is - )

Thus when we add the total forces:-
7N + (-7N) = 0

Hence the resultant or net force acting on the object is 0N

Answer 2

7-7 = 0 N
The resultant (or net) force is 0 N
