Question

A runner exerting a running force of 325 N to the right is met with an air resistance force of 45 N to the left. What is the net force of the runner?(1 point) Responses 280 N 280 N 370 N 370 N 45 N 45 N 325 N

Answer 1

To find the net force, we need to subtract the force acting to the left (air resistance) from the force acting to the right (running force).

Running force = 325 N to the right
Air resistance force = 45 N to the left

Net force = Running force - Air resistance force
= 325 N - 45 N
= 280 N

Therefore, the net force of the runner is 280 N.
