A pushing force of 7 N to the right is applied to a book on a table. A frictinoal force of 3 N is applied in the oppostie direction. in which direction will the book move? The book will move to the left.....More information is needed.....The book will stay stationary.......The book will move to the right.1point)

1 answer

To determine the direction in which the book will move, we need to analyze the net force acting on it.

  • The pushing force is 7 N to the right.
  • The frictional force is 3 N to the left.

To find the net force, we subtract the frictional force from the pushing force:

Net Force = Pushing Force - Frictional Force Net Force = 7 N (right) - 3 N (left) = 4 N (right)

Since the net force is 4 N to the right, the book will move to the right.

So the answer is: The book will move to the right.
