Question

a bx is being pushed from both ways. the force pushing it to the right is 10 newtons, but hte force pushing it to the left is 20 newtons.

The resultant force on the box is
Responses
A 2 Newtons to the left.2 Newtons to the left.
B 10 Newtons to the right.10 Newtons to the right.
C 10 Newtons to the left.10 Newtons to the left.
D 20 Newtons to the right.

Answer 1

To find the resultant force on the box, you need to subtract the force pushing to the right from the force pushing to the left.

- Force to the right: 10 Newtons
- Force to the left: 20 Newtons

Resultant force = Force to the left - Force to the right
Resultant force = 20 Newtons - 10 Newtons = 10 Newtons to the left

Therefore, the correct response is:

C 10 Newtons to the left.
