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)
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 newtons are in the same direction, so the
newtons can be multiplied.
The forces are in opposite directions, so the
newtons can be divided.

Answer 1

The forces are in opposite directions, so the newtons can be subtracted.
