Question

jose and gina are studying balanced and unbalanced forces and are challenged to test their theories. predict the result when jose applies 6 newtons of force to one side of a box and gina applies 6 newtons of force to the other side of the box. a the box does not move. b the box moves toward gina. c the box moves toward jose. d the box moves upwards.

Explanation:

When equal forces of 6 Newtons are applied in opposite directions on the box by Jose and Gina, the net - force on the box is zero according to the principle of force equilibrium. When the net - force on an object is zero, the object does not accelerate and remains at rest if it was initially at rest.

Answer:

A. The box does not move.
