Question

1. frankie and caitlin are trying to move on a small four - wheeler out of their garage. frankie pushes with a force of 40n. caitlin pushes with a force of 20n. what is the net force on the four - wheeler? a. net force= b. is this balanced or unbalanced?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate net force

Assume they push in the same direction. Net force \(F = F_1+F_2\). Given \(F_1 = 40N\), \(F_2=20N\), so \(F=40 + 20\).

Step2: Determine balanced or unbalanced

If net force \(F
eq0\), the force is unbalanced. Since \(F = 60N
eq0\).

Answer:

a. Net force \(=60N\)
b. Unbalanced
