A 2 N and 6 N force pull on an object to the right and a 4 N force pulls to the left a 0.5 kg object. What is the net force on the object?
Is the answer 4N to the right
To find the net force on an object, you need to consider the sum of all the forces acting on it. In this case, you have two forces pulling to the right (2 N and 6 N) and one force pulling to the left (4 N).
To find the net force, you need to subtract the force pulling to the left from the total of the forces pulling to the right.
Total force pulling to the right: 2 N + 6 N = 8 N
Total force pulling to the left: 4 N
Net force = Total force pulling to the right - Total force pulling to the left
Net force = 8 N - 4 N = 4 N
Therefore, the net force on the object is 4 N to the right.
