Question

6. What is the resultant force on each car below? Remember TWO pieces of

information are needed.
7. What additional statement could we make about each car? Think about what key
words we could use

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In first case, the forces on LHS and on RHS is the same i.e. 3 N. The force acting on the car is balanced force. As a result, the car will not move at all.

In second case,

Force on RHS = 2000 N

Force on LHS = -6000 N

Net force acting on it is given by :

F = 2000+(-6000)

= -4000 N

Hence, this is the required solution.
