1. What is the net force acting on an object, if both are pushing it in the
same direction and each is exerting 25 N of force?

2. What is the net force acting on an object, if one is pushing it to the right with 20 N of force and the other is pushing with 20 N of force to the left?

3. What is the net force acting on an object, if one is pushing it to the right with 20 N of force and the other is pushing with 30 N if force to the left?

Hi there!

1. Both forces are in the SAME direction, so:

25 N + 25 N = 50 N

2. The forces are in opposite directions, so:

20 N to the right (+) and 20 N to the left (-)

20 N - 20 N = 0 N

3. The forces are in opposite directions, so:

20N to the right (+) and 30 N to the left (-)

20 N - 30 N = -10 N
