f Sally and Sam both push on a box with a force of 40 N, but in opposite directions, what will happen to the box? (1 point) Responses The box will slide toward Sally. The box will slide toward Sally. The box will not move. The box will not move. The box will slide toward Sam. The box will slide toward Sam. The box will be perpendicular to both Sally and Sam.
The box will not move.
The box will not move.
In this scenario, there are two forces acting on the box: one from Sally pushing to the right with a force of 40 N and one from Sam pushing to the left with a force of 40 N.
To determine what will happen to the box, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. If the net force is zero, the object will not move.
In this case, since the forces applied by Sally and Sam are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, the net force on the box is zero. Therefore, the box will not move.
