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 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 0 N; the rope will stay stationary 35 N; the rope will move to the right

Question

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 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 0 N; the rope will stay stationary 35 N; the rope will move to the right

Answer 1

The correct response is:

0 N; the rope will stay stationary

Since the two students are pulling with equal but opposite forces, the net force is 0 N, and the rope will not move.
