Suppose 25 children who weigh the same are playing a game of tug-of-war. Five children pull with 10 newtons of force, while ten children pull with 15 newtons of force in the opposite direction. How can one determine the net force on the rope?(1 point) Responses The forces are in opposite directions, so the newtons can be divided. The forces are in opposite directions, so the newtons can be divided. The forces are in opposite directions, so the newtons can be subtracted. The forces are in opposite directions, so the newtons can be subtracted. The forces are in the same direction, so the newtons can be added. The forces are in the same direction, so the newtons can be added. The newtons are in the same direction, so the newtons can be multiplied.

The correct answer is: The forces are in opposite directions, so the newtons can be subtracted.
