To determine the net force in this tug of war scenario, we can calculate it as follows:

Team One pulls to the right with a force of 500 newtons, and Team Two pulls to the left with a force of 600 newtons. To find the net force, we subtract the forces:

Net Force = Force of Team Two - Force of Team One Net Force = 600 N (left) - 500 N (right) Net Force = 100 N to the left.

The correct answer is: 100 N to the left.
