Question

A boy and a girl are pulling a heavy crate at the same time with 7 units of firce each. What is the net force acts on the ibject? Is the object balanced or unbalanced?

Answer 1

Net force= 14 units

The object is unbalanced

Step-by-step explanation:

The net force refers to the sum of all forces applied to an object. However, the direction of force applied determine the net force. In this question, a boy and girl is pulling a heavy crate at the same time.

This means that the force is in the same direction, hence, the net force will be:

F(N) = 7 + 7 = 14 unit

However, since the pull is occuring at the same direction. This means that the object has a net force, therefore, will move in a particular direction. This means that the OBJECT IS UNBALANCED
