Suppose 25 children who weigh the same are playing a game of tug of war. Five children pull with 10 newtons of force while ten children pull with 15 newtons of force in the opposite direction. How can one determine the net force on the rope?
A. The forces are in opposite directions so the newtons can be subtracted
B. The newtons are in the same direction so the newtons can be multiplied
C. The forces are in the same direction so the newtons can be added
D. The forces are in opposite directions so the newtons can be divided
