To find the net force acting on the runner, you need to consider the forces acting on them.
The runner exerts a force of 325 N to the right, and the air resistance force is 45 N to the left.
Net force can be calculated as:
\[ \text{Net force} = \text{Force to the right} - \text{Force to the left} \]
Substituting the values:
\[ \text{Net force} = 325 , \text{N} - 45 , \text{N} = 280 , \text{N} \]
Therefore, the net force of the runner is 280 N.
