Two kids play a game of tug-of-war, but the flag in the middle of the rope is NOT moving. What force is being applied to the rope?(1 point)

Answer 1

If the flag in the middle of the rope is not moving during the tug-of-war, it indicates that the forces applied to the rope by both kids are balanced. This means that both kids are applying equal forces in opposite directions. The force being applied to the rope is the tension created by both kids pulling on the rope, and since the flag is stationary, the net force acting on the system is zero.
