Two people are pushing a disabled car. One exerts a force of 400 N east, the other a force of 200 N east. What is the net force exerted on the car?
soooooo kaw i wish u guys can stop being ugly
To find the net force exerted on the car, you need to add the individual forces together. In this case, one person is exerting a force of 400 N east, and the other person is exerting a force of 200 N east.
Since both forces are in the same direction (east), you can simply add the magnitudes of the forces to get the net force. Adding 400 N and 200 N gives you a total of 600 N.
Therefore, the net force exerted on the car is 600 N east.
