If Frankie the kangaroo climbed out of the crate and pushed the crate with a mighty 12 newtons of force against the efforts of Fred and the man (each applying 10 newtons of force), what would be the net force on the crate from all the pushing?
0 newtons *8 newtons
10 newtons 20 newtons
To find the net force on the crate, we need to add up all the forces being applied to it. In this case, Frankie is applying a force of 12 newtons, Fred is applying a force of 10 newtons, and the man is also applying a force of 10 newtons. We can find the net force by adding these forces together.
Net force = Frankie's force + Fred's force + Man's force
Net force = 12 newtons + 10 newtons + 10 newtons
Net force = 32 newtons
Therefore, the net force on the crate from all the pushing would be 32 newtons.
To determine the net force on the crate, we need to subtract the total force pushing against the crate from the force applied by Frankie the kangaroo.
Frankie applies a force of 12 newtons.
Fred and the man together apply a force of 10 newtons + 10 newtons = 20 newtons.
To calculate the net force, we subtract the total force pushing against the crate (20 newtons) from the force applied by Frankie the kangaroo (12 newtons):
12 newtons - 20 newtons = -8 newtons
Therefore, the net force on the crate from all the pushing is -8 newtons.
