Question

The image below shows a force of 10 N being applied to an object. The force is being applied toward the right, and the object is accelerating toward the right. No other force is acting on the object. Examine the image, and then answer the question that follows.

A second force of 13 N is applied to the object. If this second force is applied toward the left while the first force is being applied toward the right, which of the following will occur?

Answer 1

like a car with the brakes on

If a force of 10 N to the right is opposed by a force of 13 N to the left, the object will slow down and eventually stop due to the two opposing forces.

steps

1. A force of 10 N is pushing an object to

the right, and the object is moving

faster and faster.

2. Another force of 13 N will be applied

to the object, but in the opposite

direction (to the left).

3. If the two forces are applied at the

same time, the object will slow down

and eventually stop moving, as the

two forces cancel each other out.

4. Imagine you are pushing a ball to the

right with one hand, and then

someone else comes and pushes the

ball to the left with their other hand.

The ball will stop moving because the

two forces are pushing against each

other.

5. If a force of 10 N is being applied to

an object to the right and another

force of 13 N is being applied to the

left, the object will slow down and

eventually come to a stop, because

the two forces cancel each other out.
