Imagine a scenario in which an animal's force is pushing itself forward 5 N, friction is pushing it 4 N backward, gravity is pushing the animal 10 N down, and the animal is pushing itself 10 N up. Describe the movement of the animal.(1 point)

It moves 29 N forward because that's the net force.
It moves 29 N forward because that's the net force.

It moves forward and upward because those are the greatest net forces.

It only moves forward because there is a net force forward.
It only moves forward because there is a net force forward.

Answer 1

It only moves forward because there is a net force forward.

Explanation:

In this scenario, the forward force (5 N) minus the backward friction force (4 N) results in a net forward force of 1 N. The vertical forces (10 N down due to gravity and 10 N up from the animal's push) cancel each other out, resulting in no net vertical movement. Therefore, the animal moves forward with a net force of 1 N.
