100 points and i will mark brainlest

Sally and Ann are trying to move a box across the floor. Sally is pushing the box to the right with a force of 100N and Ann is pulling the box with a force of 50N to the right. What is the magnitude and direction of the box?

150N to the right
50N to the left
The box is balanced and will not move
50N to the right

Answer 1

Answer: A. 150N to the right

Answer 2

Answer:

150 N to the right

Explanation:

Force acting on the box applied by Sally, $F_1=100\ N$ (right side)

Force acting on the box applied by Ann, $F_2=50\ N$ (right side)

It is clear that the two forces are acting on same direction. Let right side is positive direction. So,

$F=F_1+F_2$

$F=100+50$

F = 150 N

The direction of the box is towards right side. So, the correct option is (a).
