Question

select the statement(s) that accurately describe the forces acting on the bicyclist in the diagram. the forces acting on the bicyclist are balanced. the net force is 65 n to the left. the net force is 35 n to the left. the net force is 35 n to the right. the forces acting on the bicyclist are unbalanced. *please choose an answer 15 n 50 n

Explanation:

Step1: Define net - force formula

Net force $F_{net}=F_1 - F_2$ (assuming right - direction as positive). Here, $F_1 = 50N$ (right) and $F_2=15N$ (left).

Step2: Calculate net force

$F_{net}=50N-15N = 35N$ (right). Since the net force is non - zero, the forces are unbalanced.

Answer:

The net force is 35 N to the right.
The forces acting on the bicyclist are unbalanced.
