If Shane and Susan both push on a box with a force of 25N, but in opposite directions, what will happen to the box?

When you push on an object with the same amount of force on EACH side the object will NOT move

Since the forces exerted on the box are equal and opposite in direction, the net force will be 0, so the box will not move.
