To determine the motion of the book, we can analyze the forces acting on it.
- The pushing force to the right is 7 N.
- The frictional force acting to the left is 3 N.
To find the net force acting on the book, we can subtract the frictional force from the pushing force:
Net force = Pushing force - Frictional force Net force = 7 N (right) - 3 N (left) = 4 N (right)
Since the net force is 4 N to the right, the book will move to the right.
The correct response is:
The book will move to the right.
