Question

Please help!

What is the net force acting on the race car in the picture:
3 N to the left
17 N
3 N to the right
10 N to the right

Answer 1

3n to the right is what your looking for

Answer 2

3 N to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two forces acting on the car:

- A force of 10 N towards the right

- A force of 7 N towards the left

Therefore, the net force is given by the difference between the two, since they are in opposite directions:

`F=10 N-7 N=3 N`

And the direction is to the right, since the force to the right has greater magnitude than the force to the left.
