Question

What is the net force on this object?

0 newtons
8 newtons
22 newtons
36 newtons

Answer 1

8 N to the right.

Explanation:

Resolving vertical forces

upwards = 20 N, down = 20 N

- so the Net Force = 0.

Resolving horizontally :

Net force = 22 - 14 = 8 Newtons.

Answer 2

8 Newtons

Explanation:

Friction and Gravity are both known to be negative forces such as -20 and -14

So doing the math

22 + 20 = 42

42 - 20 = 22

22 - 14 = 8

8 is your answer, hope this helped!
