Answer 1

To find the net force, you subtract the opposing forces. The runner exerts a force of 325 N to the right, and the air resistance is 45 N to the left.

Net force = Force exerted by the runner - Force of air resistance
Net force = 325 N - 45 N
Net force = 280 N

So, the net force of the runner is 280 N.
