I can’t put the diagram (picture) here so... I type down:

Hope it help!

left side there is an arrow pointing to the square, it measures 5 N (big)
In the middle (between the arrows) there is a square
Right side there is an arrow pointing to the square, it measures 3 N (small)

#1. Which direction will the box move in the diagram?

•Left
•Right (?CORRECT?, MY ANSWER)
•Not move
•Move up

Boo is correct. 100% correct

Boo is correct for Connections Academy students!

Yes, the correct answer is Right.

When there is two forces on two sides, the one with the greater force pushes the object into the direction of the smaller force. That is when the forces are unequal. When they are equal forces, the object doesn't go anywhere.

Force one is:

5 N ->

and Force two is:

<- 3 N

It would be something like this:

5 N -> | | <- 3 N, with greater force(5 N), making the object go into the direction of the smaller force(3 N). This leads to the object going to the right with a force of 2 N.

Yes, you are correct thanks so much!

You're welcome, Mindy. :)

P.S. I had a lesson on this type of stuff not to long ago, so I decided to answer with things that I remembered. What I said above were things that I had remembered.

#1. Which statement is true about the image below?

7 N -> |rectangle| <- 7 N

•The forces acting on the rectangle are balanced. (?CORRECT?, MY ANSWER)
•The forces acting on the rectangle are unbalanced.
•The forces acting on the rectangle are unequal.
•The forces acting on the rectangle are in the same direction.

#2. What is the net force acting on the object below?

(Force 5 N & 5 N are both in the left side pointing to the square)

5 N -> |square|
5 N -> |square|

•0 N
•5 N
•10 N (?CORRECT?, MY ANSWER)
•25 N
