Question

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.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Net force is 5 because one side is pushing by 5 more newtons.

Answer 3

Thanks. 5 Newtons to the left?
