Question
A student drew a force diagram for walking their dog. An arrow pointing from left to right shows the student pulling on the leash with a force of 20 N. An arrow from right to left shows the dog pulling on the leash in the opposite direction with a force of 10 N. What is the net force and direction?(1 point)

To find the net force, we need to consider the forces acting in opposite directions. The student is pulling with a force of 20 N to the right, and the dog is pulling with a force of 10 N to the left.
We can calculate the net force as follows:
- Force from the student (right) = +20 N
- Force from the dog (left) = -10 N
Net force = 20 N (right) - 10 N (left) = 20 N - 10 N = 10 N (to the right)
Therefore, the correct response is:
**10 N to the right.**
We can calculate the net force as follows:

Net force = 20 N (right) - 10 N (left) = 20 N - 10 N = 10 N (to the right)
Therefore, the correct response is:
**10 N to the right.**
