Question

What is the magnitude (size) and direction of the cumulative force acting on the car shown in the picture above?

A.
2500 N up
B.
30 N to the right
C.
30 N to the left
D.
2500 N down

Answer 1

B. 30 N to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the car, 2500 N, is pushing down while the road is pushing up with a force of equal magnitude. Those forces cancel each other out. The car is being pushed to the left with a force of 20 N and to the right with a force of 50 N. Thus, the cumulative force is 30 N to the right.

Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

.....50N-20N =30N ...
