Question

calculate the net force. see the example solved for you below.
there is a 5 n force to the right and a 7 n force to the left. add 5n + (-7n). the resultant net force is -2 since the movement is to the left (by convention the negative direction on the grid)
p aki applies 1 n force up on a volleyball and then 3 n down.
q aki applies 150 n to the crate the right and logan applies 200 n to the crate to the right.
r aki pulls a wagon with a force of 6n east as logan pushes it with a force of 4n east. what is the net force?
s the sci operatives are playing tug of war. dr. nobels team pulls with a force of 150 n. mr. paulings team pulls with a force of 200 n in the opposite direction. what is the net force, and who wins the game?

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the direction of forces

Both Aki and Logan are applying forces in the east direction.

Step2: Add the forces

Since the forces are in the same direction, we add their magnitudes. The formula for net force \(F_{net}\) when forces \(F_1\) and \(F_2\) are in the same direction is \(F_{net}=F_1 + F_2\). Here, \(F_1 = 6N\) (Aki's force) and \(F_2=4N\) (Logan's force). So, \(F_{net}=6N + 4N\).

Answer:

\(10N\) East (Red box in the given options for part R)
