Question

A box weights 50kg applies friction force of 125N. You apply a force of 150N going in the right direction. What is the total net force and direction of the box?

Answer 1

Net force = 25N and in the right direction

Step-by-step explanation:

mass of box, m = 50kg

Force of block = 150N

Friction force = 125N

`Net force = Force Applied - Friction force = F - F_f`

150 - 125 = 25N

the force applied to the block is greater than the friction force. there the force applied will overcome the friction force and move in the right direction of the force applied
