pushing on the same cart with a force of 450 units to the left. What is the unbalanced net
force acting on the cart?
150 units to the left
O 150 units to the right
750 units to the right
O Option 4

Answer 1

A) 150 UNITS TO THE LEFT

^ answer

Explanation :

I believe this is the answer since there’s force on the left which is 450 ( a negative 450) and a force on the right 300 ( a positive 300) so overall there’s more force on the left side ( by 150) and you’ll need 150 units to the right to make it balanced or equilibrium.

Answer 2

The answer is 150 units to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

You start with the bigger number and subtract it because they ´re going opposite directions. It goes to the left because your net force will go in that same direction with the bigger number.

450 - 300 = 150 units to the left

I hope this helps u! :D
