Question

4) For the situation pictured below, F1 = 20.0 N east and F2 = 30.0 N west ,

what would the NET FORCE be?
Help me please i will give 15 points

Answer 1

10.0 N West

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine East is positive and West is negative. Essentially now we have 2 forces pulling opposite each other on the same plane, so we can add them up.

F1=20N

F2=-30N

F1+F2=Net Force

20+(-30)=-10

Therefore the Net Force is 10N West.
