Question

Add the vectors for: Two soccer players kick a ball simultaneously from opposite sides. Red #3 kicks
with 50 N of force while Blue #5 kicks with 63 N of force. What is the net force on
the ball?

Answer 1

Answer:

force applied by red = 50 N

force applied by blue = - 63 N (since it is in the opposite direction)

net force = force by red + force by blue

net force = 50 + (- 63)

net force = - 13 N
