Four students push on a block of wood with the forces shown in the diagram below. Assume friction is negligible.
one side 10n, 25 in other side 5n and 2n
What is the net force acting on the block? Are the forces balanced or unbalanced? How will the block move?
a
The net force on the block is 25 N. The forces are balanced. The block will move to the left.
b
The net force on the block is 25 N. The forces are unbalanced. The block will move to the left.
c
The net force on the block is 25 N. The forces are balanced. The block will move to the right.
d
The net force on the block is 11 N. The forces are unbalanced. The block will move to the left.
e
The net force on the block is 25 N. The forces are unbalanced. The block will move to the right.
f
The net force on the block is 11 N. The forces are unbalanced. The block will move to the right.
g
The net force on the block is 11 N. The forces are balanced. The block will move to the right.
h
The net force on the block is 11 N. The forces are balanced. The block will move to the left.
