Question

Four men are pushing on a broken car. One man pushes on the car with 345 N, another with 203 N, another

with 291 N and 101 N. The friction between the car and road pushes in the opposite direction with a force of 940 N.
1.) Make a claim: What is the net force on the car?
2.) Cite evidence: What evidence supports your claim?
3.) Make a claim: Will the car move?
4.) Provide reasoning: Why do you say that?

Answer 1

1. 3 N

2. The total force being put on the car by the men is 943 while the friction is going in the opposite direction with a force of 940.

3. Yes

4. The net force is not equal to zero

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 345 + 203 + 291 + 101 = 943 + -940 = 3
