Question

. Calculate Net Force Two students push on a box in the same direc- tion, and one student pushes in the opposite direction. What is the net force on the box if each student pushes with a force of 50 N?

Answer 1

We have the next diagram

We have the forces that we can see in the diagram the sum of forces are

$\sum ^{}_{}F=50+50-50$$\sum ^{}_{}F=50N$

The net force is 50N to the right
