Question

Bill is pushing a box with 10 N of force to the left, while Alice is pushing the box with 30 N of force to the right. What is the

net force?

Answer 1

Net force = 20 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the left = 10 N

Force acting on the right = 30 N

Let right side is positive and left side is negative. Let the net force acting on the box is F. So,

F = -10+30

F = 20 N

So, the net force on the box is 20 N and it is in right side.
