To determine which change in force would stop the box from moving, we need to consider the net force acting on the box.
The net force is the sum of all the forces acting on an object. If the net force is zero, the object will be at rest or in a state of equilibrium.
In this case, we have a force pulling the box to the right, and we need to find a force that can cancel out or counteract this force.
Adding 6 N of force pulling to the right would increase the net force acting on the box to the right, making it move faster. This would not stop the box from moving.
Subtracting 8 N of force pulling to the right would decrease the net force, but it would still be pulling to the right. This would not stop the box from moving either.
Subtracting 8 N of force pulling to the left would effectively reduce the net force acting on the box to zero, opposing the original force pulling it to the right. This would stop the box from moving.
Adding 6 N of force pulling to the left would increase the net force in the opposite direction to the original force, stopping the box from moving.
Therefore, the change in force that would stop the box from moving is subtracting 8 N of force pulling to the left.
To determine which change in force would stop the box from moving, we need to consider the net force acting on the box. The net force is the sum of all the forces applied to the box. If the net force is zero, then the box will not move.
The given forces are:
1) adding 6 N of force pulling to the right
2) subtracting 8 N of force pulling to the right
3) subtracting 8 N of force pulling to the left
4) adding 6 N of force pulling to the left
To find the net force, we need to add or subtract the forces.
For example, if we add 6 N of force pulling to the right and then subtract 8 N of force pulling to the right, the net force would be 6 N - 8 N = -2 N. Similarly, if we subtract 8 N of force pulling to the left and then add 6 N of force pulling to the left, the net force would be -8 N + 6 N = -2 N.
In both cases, the net force is -2 N, which means there is still a force acting on the box. To stop the box from moving, the net force needs to be zero.
Therefore, the change in force that would stop the box from moving is subtracting 8 N of force pulling to the left.
