During a game of tug-of-war, two students are pulling on a rope. One student pulls to the left with a force of 35 N, while another student pulls to the right with a force of 35 N. What is the net force being applied to the rope, and in which direction will the rope move?(1 point) Responses 35 N; the rope will move to the right 35 N; the rope will move to the right 70 N; the rope will stay stationary 70 N; the rope will stay stationary 17.5 N; the rope will move up 17.5 N; the rope will move up 0 N; the rope will stay stationary
The net force being applied to the rope is 0 N. Since the forces applied by the two students are equal and opposite, they cancel each other out resulting in a net force of 0 N. Thus, the rope will stay stationary.
is this right
Yes, that is correct. The net force is 0 N, and the rope will stay stationary.
To find the net force being applied to the rope, you need to subtract the force pulling to the left from the force pulling to the right. In this case, both students are pulling with a force of 35 N in opposite directions.
Therefore, the net force is 35 N - 35 N = 0 N. The net force is zero because the two forces cancel each other out.
Since the net force is zero, the rope will stay stationary. So, the correct response is, "0 N; the rope will stay stationary."
