A wagon is pulled to the right using a force of 20 N and to the left using a force of

30 N. What is the net force on the wagon?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Net force = 10N

Explanation:

Net force refers to the sum total of all the forces acting on an object. Net force is denoted by Fnet. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force. This means that an object with net force is an unbalanced force.

In this case, a wagon is pulled to the right using a force of 20 N and to the left (opposite direction) using a force of 30 N. This means that the net force will be the difference of the two forces acting on the object i.e

Fnet = Fa - Fb

Fnet = 30N - 20N

Fnet = 10N
