Question

If two forces are going in opposite directions, find the net force by (A. multiply), (B. subtract), (C. add), (D. divide) the forces.

Answer 1

B subtract

Step-by-step explanation:

they are pulling away from one another so a and c are out of the question then that leaves you with b or d but we're not dividing anything. soooo we're left with B.

Answer 2

The answer is B. If both forces are pulling on eachother then you have to subtract to find the difference. In a problem where it’s not multiple choice it would look like this. 3N (newtons) left and 4N right. So the difference would be 1N—> (right and left are shown with arrows)
