The net force acting on the book can be calculated by subtracting the frictional force from the applied force:
Net force = Applied force - Frictional force
Net force = 7 N - 3 N
Net force = 4 N to the right
Since there is a net force to the right, the book will move in the same direction, which is to the right. Therefore, the correct answer is: The book will move to the right.
A pushing force of 7 N to the right is applied to a book on a table. A frictional force of 3 N is applied in the opposite direction. In which direction will the book move? (1 point) Responses The book will stay stationary. The book will stay stationary. The book will move to the right. The book will move to the right. More information is needed. More information is needed. The book will move to the left.
