Four friends push on the same block in different directions. Allie pushes on the block to the north with a force of 18 N. Bill pushes on the block to the east with a force of 14 N. Chris pushes on the block to south with a force of 23 N. Debra pushes on the block to the west with a force of 20 N. Assuming it does not move vertically, in which directions will the block move?(1 point) Responses north and east north and east south and east south and east south and west south and west north and west
The block will move in the north and east directions. This can be determined by adding up the forces in each direction. In the north direction, the net force is 18 N (from Allie) - 23 N (from Chris) = -5 N. In the east direction, the net force is 14 N (from Bill) - 20 N (from Debra) = -6 N. Therefore, the block will move 5 N north and 6 N east.
