Question

An animal is walking forward. There is an applied force from the animal of 25 N to the right, a frictional force of 18 N to the left, a force of gravity of 65 N down and the animal is being pushed up by the ground with 65 N. What best describes the motion of the animal?

The animal will move to the right due to an unbalanced force on the right
The animal will move to the right due to an unbalanced force on the right

The animal will move down due to an unbalanced force down
The animal will move down due to an unbalanced force down

The animal will move up due to an unbalanced force upwards

Answer 1

The animal will move to the right due to an unbalanced force to the right.

Explanation: horizontal net force = 25 N (right) − 18 N (left) = 7 N to the right; vertical forces (65 N down and 65 N up) cancel, so no vertical acceleration.
