Asked by Truce

if one person is pushing an object to the right and another person is pushing an object to the right like so:
10 Newtons →(object)← 15 Newtons
What is the net force?
Are the forces unbalanced or balanced? I think the forces are balanced but I'm not sure what the net force is.
Answered by Truce
Or actually, the forces are probably unbalanced because the person pushing the object with a force of 15 Newtons is likely causing the object to move. Still not sure what the net force is though.
Answered by John
Net force is 5 because one side is pushing by 5 more newtons.
Answered by Truce
Thanks. 5 Newtons to the left?
