Question

Gustavo and Beatriz are pushing on a door in opposite directions. If the door does not move, the forces are
.

The net force in this scenario would be
.

Answer 1

If Gustavo and Beatriz are pushing on a door in opposite directions and the door does not move, the forces applied by both are balanced. This means that the magnitude of the force applied by Gustavo is equal to the magnitude of the force applied by Beatriz, but in opposite directions.

Therefore, we can say:

- The forces are **balanced**.

Since the forces are balanced and the door does not move, the net force is:

- The net force in this scenario would be **zero**.
