Question

A block pulled to the left with 15 N and to the right with 5 N at the same time experiences a net force of

A. 20 N.
B. [10 N.]
C. 15 N.
D. 5 N

Answer 1

A. 20 N.

Explanation:

The net force acting on an object is the sum of all the individual forces acting on it. In this case, the block is being pulled to the left with a force of 15 N and to the right with a force of 5 N at the same time.

The net force acting on the block is the sum of these two forces, which is 15 N + 5 N = 20 N.

Therefore, the correct answer is (A) 20 N.
