To calculate the net force on the block, you would subtract the force of friction from the applied force. Therefore, you would use the equation:
Net force = Applied force - Force of friction
In this case, the applied force is 10 N and the force of friction is 2 N, so:
Net force = 10 N - 2 N = 8 N
A 2 kg block is pushed on sandpaper with a force of 10 N. The friction from the sandpaper is 2 N.
Which of the below will you use to calculate the net force on the block?
