Doug and Linda were playing tug-of-war. Doug pulled the rope with a force of 10 N to the west. Linda pulled the rope with a force of 12 and to the east what was their net force and direction of motion enter your answer below

Answer 1

The net force is equal to the difference between the two forces, so it can be calculated as:

12 N (force to the east) - 10 N (force to the west) = 2 N

Therefore, the net force is 2 N to the east. The direction of motion would also be to the east.
