Four students push on a block of wood with the forces shown in the diagram below. Assume friction is negligible.
one side 10n, 8 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.
b
The net force on the block is 25 N. The forces are unbalanced. The block will move to the left.
