Question

If you are pushing on a box with a force of 20 N and there is a 7 N force on the box due to sliding friction, what is the net force on the box?

Answer 1

20 N - 7 N = 13 N

Step-by-step explanation:

net force = your force - force on the object

I think my answer is right

If not please do comment with the right answer

Answer 2

13 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The Net Force of an object should be the difference between the forces applied to the object if the object is not in equilibrium. This object is not in equilibrium so therefore by finding the difference between the forces, you will find your answer. 20 N - 7 N = 13 N.
