Question

a mother pushes on a baby stroller with 13 newtons of force to the right, while her toddler thinks it would be fun to push to the left with a force of 3 newtons. what is the magnitude and direction of the force? a. 10 newtons to the left b. 10 newtons to the right c. 16 newtons to the left d. 16 newtons to the right
a mother pushes on a baby stroller with 12 newtons of force to the right, while her toddler thinks it would be fun to push to the left with a force of 8 newtons. is the force balanced (net force equal 0 newtons) or unbalanced (net force does not equal 0 newtons)? a. unbalanced, net force does not equal 0 newtons b. balanced, net force 0 newtons
net force
which law? 5 6 7 8 9 10 finish attempt...

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate net - force

The force to the right is $13$ Newtons and the force to the left is $3$ Newtons. The net - force $F_{net}$ is calculated by subtracting the smaller force from the larger force. The direction of the net - force is in the direction of the larger force. $F_{net}=13 - 3=10$ Newtons to the right.

Step2: Determine balanced or unbalanced

A balanced force has a net - force of $0$ Newtons. Since the net - force here is $10$ Newtons (not $0$), the forces are unbalanced.

Answer:

For the first question: b. 10 Newtons to the right
For the second question: a. Unbalanced, Net Force does not equal 0 Newtons
