What is the net force on a box that is being pushed to the left with a force of 50 N while it is also being pushed to the right with a force of 60 N
10 N to the right is the net force
10 N
Q2. A hammer exerts a 32N force on a nail. What is the force the nail exerts on the hammer?
To find the net force on the box, you need to subtract the force acting in the opposite direction from the force acting in the desired direction. In this case, the box is being pushed to the left with 50 N and pushed to the right with 60 N.
To calculate the net force, subtract the force pushing to the left from the force pushing to the right:
Net force = Force pushing to the right - Force pushing to the left
= 60 N - 50 N
= 10 N
Therefore, the net force on the box is 10 N to the right.
